The bytecode is turned into native code before execution

That's not how it works. If that really was how it worked there'd be no point even having bytecode; you'd just straight up get the native code. Unless you're talking about JIT, but your wording seems to be implying that all the bytecode turns into native code at once.

I was referring to JIT but there are also other options like GraalVM for AOT compilation.
