This was actually the main motivation for OCamlJit, tho we did not specifically need a competitor to Matlab (we use tuareg mode most of the time, to prototype term rewriting/typing stuff, but also for some complex LaTeX generation tasks). After thinking about it for a few days now, I think a native toplevel would indeed solve the problem, in a better way than a byte-code JITter. I'll try to look into the remaining issues with the native toplevel, but I have some other stuff to finish first.
