As an aside, most JIT runtimes actually don't compile code until after it
has been run a few thousand times and seems hot – before that they
interpret it. Julia is unusual in that it fully JIT compiles almost all
code (except for some top-level expressions which are interpreted) before
running it
Makes sense, thanks :-)

JIT = Just In Time, i.e. the first time you use the code.
