::That's almost correct. JIT compiles when's needed (that for example may mean interpreting a few lines that are never executed any more, like the main method, saving time for useless compilation), JIT may recompile with eager optimizations (escape analysis, inlining, etc). It simply compiles, it doesn't modify itself ever. It can change the compiled code on-the-fly but still that's not self-modification at any rate. I see self-modification only when a program changes the initial code that has been loaded from an external media (network can be considered so) and 'already' run (so decompression doesn't fit).

== extremely fast operating systems and applications? ==
Under the heading "Henry Massalin's Synthesis kernel" it is claimed that
<blockquote>
Such a language and compiler [based on Massalin's techniques] could allow development of extremely fast operating systems and applications.
</blockquote>
This sounds like pure speculation to me.
