For 90% of things this will be used for, it's more than enough so it might be a good default unless you enable a `-Ojit` flag when building more complex applications where the JIT will be a benefit. In fact, startup times might even be faster.

The challenge of course is supporting two JS runtimes within the same codebase.

Yeah I suspect the weird little differences between runtimes (e.g. what language features they do and do not support) would lead you down a path of a thousand cuts.

It still feels like a graceful idea, though.
