I wonder if people who want GDScript to compile to Machine Code or JIT compilation understand the implications of trying to achieve that.
If you go with the first route, you might end up with worse performance that with GDS being an interpreted language, because oh surprise, writing a good compiler is hard and it can take YEARS.
If you go with the latter you may think that solves the problem, but then you need to remember how Apple basically makes JIT on their walled garden a pain in the ass.
