Which probably works by stapling bytecode to a precompiled interpreter. A tried and true strategy, but not necessarily what people want when asking for AOT compilation.


It's only a few steps away from what Graal/Truffle do: unroll the interpreter loop over the bytecode, then keep re-running dead code elimination and inlining passes - you end up with something very close to optimized native output.


Specially since Graal/Truffle do include a JIT, which even has better optimization heuristics than Hotspot.
