[9fans] some of you guys clearly need something else to think about.

I'll post my problem here.  It's off topic, but not as there-and-hell-and-gone
as a lot of the off topic posts here.

I am trying to get the EU to fund my Python-In-Python Project.  You can read
all about it at http://www.codespeak.net/pypy  We're going to do this
anyway, but it would be nice to get this done for real in a stretch, rather
than on our vacations like we are doing now, even if we get 6 weeks a year
unlike you poor Americans with 2.

But JIT is not new.  Smalltalk did it, and then self did it.  We are way more
flexible, do type inference (only since last week!!! it works!!!)  And we
can redo our high level analysis on execution.  We will (don't yet) refactor
the generated code while interpreting the actual application.  This might
be thought as "just in time program analysis".  Somebody got a sexy word
to use to describe us?  We need to say 'more than just a JIT' but we aren't
so hot with words.

Ideas?  This has got to be more fun than picking fights with Jim Choate ...
