A lot of research and hard work has gone into TclQuadCode [0], which compiles Tcl (which is even more dynamic than JavaScript) into machine code via LLVM.

The authors indicated at one point it took around 5 PhDs to get it going.

This is bizarre and fascinating. I had no idea there were Tcl codebases of a size that could benefit from this sort of perf work. How much Tcl is out there?
