Acutally, the idea of dynamic compilation (a mixture of interpreter and static compilation) is pretty new. It has only be around for about 10 years or so (mostly in academia). If JVM with hotspot works as advertised, it will be a pretty significant step forward in the way we think about and use compilers and how it will be productized. - Chung >>> << Java may arguably be a step forward in commercial programming practice... >> A step forward using well proven ideas from the past.
