For those who don't know JAOT stands for Just-Ahead-Off-Time and refers to the fact that Julias current implementation doesn't do many things associated with JITs today but simply calls an AOT compiler under the assumption that any function gets called often enough in this session for compilation to be amortized.

There are some weak mechanisms to prevent useless overspecialization such as @nospecialize and there are attempts to add smarter recompilation strategies by some packages.
