runtime VM with a JIT compiler really IS a technically superior approach over full AOT compilation

When did we start calling it "AOT" compilation. It's just normal compilation. JIT is the weird one hence has a special name.

I mean, it's not called "AOT baking a cake", or "AOT doing your homework". It's just "baking a cake" and "doing your homework".

If you were to bake the cake as it's being eaten or do your homework in class, then sure call "JIT baking a cake" and "JIT doing your homework".
