In my opinion, the sweet spot is compilation as a speedup mechanism as long as it's transparent to the JRuby user or embedder and doesn't get in the way of the dynamic nature of Ruby code and the ability to change class behavior on the fly. I suspect that's the consensus since it's been pretty clear that JRuby's primary goal is to be as close as possible to a Ruby-compatible interpreter, and doing anything more towards strict compilation would probably jeopardize that. Still, thought it's worth asking.
Thoughts?
