Hi Charles,
Fortunately, you're exist. I have a reader :)
When I was writing this entry I was wondering how many people
will really take a look to bytecode dumps.

In pseudo, I don't do any type propagation, i.e
no more that what a classical typechecking do.
I just do only one thing to avoid some dynamic cast,
I back-propagate expected type from the node to
the leaf. i.e if a function is dynamic but is assigned
to an int, I encode that this function need an int
as return type.

I wonder if a SSA-based compiler IR is a good idea,
you will need something like a back transformation
to come back to a bytecode form (without phis).
And as far as I know, the transformation that you can do
on a SSA form are low levels i.e you will have lot
of informations but no way to encode them in the bytecode.

Moreover in case of JRuby you have a lot more than
just types, you can do some kind of type profiling because
your code need first to be interpreted.
And so you can propage these informations to your bytecode
compiler.

cheers,
Rémi
