[Python-ideas] Bytecode JIT

[rymg19 at gmail.com]

This is literally PyPy. There's little reason for something like this to
end up in official CPython, at least for now.

Let's say that you do. Given how short it is, it would just get inlined.
Your call of mysum ("a", "b") would indeed not use IADD, nor would it be
a call. It would potentially not invoke any operators, but instead get
replaced with "ab".

When you have a tracing JIT, you can do away with a lot of overhead. You
can inline functions, variables, do away with typechecks, and many other
things. This holds true even if that JIT never emits a single byte of
machine code.
