Abstract
We present a new static type analysis for dynamically-typed languages that produces high quality results at a cost that remains practicable. The analysis has the ability to adapt to the needs of the optimizer and to the characteristics of the program at hand. The result is an analyzer that quickly transforms itself to be better equipped to attack the program. Experiments show that our approach can be pretty clever in the optimizations that it enables. The analysis
