By and large correct. The JIT compiler is mandatory and partly not
really JIT anymore, it preprocesses the entire RTL when you install
the framework. (It took _forever_ to install .Net 2.0 on a K6-II 350.)

Interesting
- that reminds me of the acid test for a UNIX port
- make the fixes
- recompile the compiler
- then recompile the entire system

Not a bad design, especially for portability, but not the original
Delphi concept.

Tell me again. What does the P in P-code stand for?

Pseudo
- if you're thinking 'P'ascal, I rather suspect it is not that
- semi compiled stuff has been around a very long time

Digressing, one thing I found when I first started using a compiler,
is that one goes to great lengths to write an 'interpreter' in it.

Not necessarily a scripting language, but something that works on
parameter files.
