Perhaps? It's unclear that a JIT with type inference will give you better performance than compiling (especially if you were to do profile guided optimization) (sidethought: not sure if llvm has support for PGO).

Also, if most of your types are static anyway (which in my middling amount of experience, they tend to be), I personally would rather get compile time errors rather than runtime errors. But maybe thats just me.
