many guards that allow it to fall back to the latter if needed. That
would be a wholly different project than PyPy, though.
+What PyPy contains is, on the one hand, an non-soft static type
+inferencer for RPython, which is a sublanguage that we defined just so
+that it's possible and not too hard to do that; and on the other hand,
+for the full Python language, we have an interpreter, and a JIT
+generator which can produce a Just-In-Time Compiler from the
+interpreter. The resulting JIT works for the full Python language in a
+way that doesn't need type inference at all.
