As a follow up to this question What are the advantages of built-in immutability of F# over C#?--am I correct in assuming that the F# compiler can make certain optimizations knowing that it's dealing with largely immutable code? I mean even if a developer writes "Functional C#" the compiler wouldn't…

As a compiler, other than an interpreter, only needs to translate the input and not run it the performance of itself should be not that problematic as with an interpreter.
Therefore, you wouldn't write an interpreter in, let's say Ruby or PHP because it would be far too slow.
However, what about…

Is there any just-in-time compiler out there for compiled languages, such as C and C++? (The first names that come to mind are Clang and LLVM! But I don't think they currently support it.)
Explanation:
I think the software could benefit from runtime profiling feedback and aggressively optimized…

Ruby is no doubt an interpreted language, since source code is compiled by an interpreter at the point of execution.
On the contrary C is a compiled language, as one have to compile the source code first according…
