Sometimes, someone wants to trade flexibility for performance. I would like in perl6 to have a pragmatic mode that indicates that I forsake classes as objects and dynamic inheritance graphs so as to be able to beneficiate of a faster run-time. It would force me to declare the type of every variable.

My dream is to be able to compile such a code to native object code.

A program would start its life very flexible and eventually would be optimized so as to be compilable.

So the TMOWTDI would not apply only to many possible programming style but would also mean that the style of a program will change over its life.
