It might not be that easy. For a 'cross-platform scripting language', you 
program for the largest common denominator and dive into specifics for 
exceptions and where interfaces are broken/very badly performing.

For an "optimizer", aimed at improving performance, you dive into the nitty 
gritty of the OS to use the fastest working solution. So it may not be "just 
recompiling".

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
    and never get to the software part.
