So all those Java JITs are just a big waste of time? If the virtual machine imposes no overhead then I guess you'd be right but that seems rather unlikely.

HTML::Template is a VM is you squint and tilt your head but that doesn't make HTML::Template::JIT useless.

    Err, actually, Parrot has this massively sane, cross platform, JIT system. It's just that we as compiler writers need not be aware of it.
