True if you don't want a repl or eval, then you need a JIT. Notice it
is also a "full program optimizer" which limits interop and removes
your ability to debug the resulting code. From your link: "The
compiler itself runs slowly, and there is little or no support for
debugging or other niceties. "

That's the nice thing about PyPy's JITs. At their core they are just
interpreters. So when something goes wrong, you have total debugging
support.
