First of all, I think this sort of aggressive tone is unwarranted.

Secondly, I think it's on you to clarify that you were talking specifically and exclusively about static compilation to standalone binaries. Re-reading your first post strongly gives the impression that you were talking about the compilation strategy in general.

I would also remind you that Julia always does does-ahead-of-time compilation.

Furthermore, my limited understanding of the static compiler (--trim feature), based on hearsay, is that it does pretty much what you are suggesting, supporting dynamic dispatch as long as one can enumerate all the types in advance (though requiring special implementation tricks). Open-ended type sets are not at all supported.
