 The objective of a just-in-time (JIT) compiler for a dynamic language is to
 improve the speed of the language over an implementation of the language that
 uses interpretation. The first goal of a JIT is therefore to remove the

 A recently popular approach to implementing just-in-time compilers for dynamic
 languages is that of a tracing JIT. A tracing JIT works by observing the running
