Well, that is just AOT (ahead of time) instead of JIT (just in time.) I thought I read that Short Waves was doing AOT, I might be wrong.
As long as self-modifying code is 100% forbidden, AOT is probably a good idea. But either JIT or AOT will get rid of the decode stage. An intermediate representation can be created to simplify creating multiple native versions, but there's no point interpreting that IL. No matter what it should end up executing as native code for the CPU to decode in hardware.
