   This article says "to date in 2009 there has not been a way to   
   generally program an application like normal with OOP, and then   
   somehow get the objects and virtual functions to become optimized at   
   runtime".   
      
   This is not true: trace JITs such as TraceMonkey or LuaJIT 2 can   
   devirtualize and inline method calls.   
      
   20 years ago the Self compiler used static type analysis to   
   devirtualize method calls.
