Gambas is an interpreted language, it needs an interpreter, that's it.

If you don't want an interpreter, you must use a compiled language.

JIT compilation does not rewrite your code, it translates it into 
something the system compiler can understand. But it does not 
necessarily generates a better code in term of speed or memory, it takes 
a lot of time to build, it needs the compiler to be installed on your 
system, and it needs the interpreter to be present anyway.
