Probably a stupid question: AOT compilation?

[Kodiack]

This doesn't really add much at all to the discussion at hand (not that there's much left to be discussed), but for people that aren't familiar with different types of code interpretation/compilation, Ars Technica just put up a relevant article that may be worth the read. JIT compilation and AOT compilation are unsurprisingly both discussed. The article also explains why JIT compilation isn't necessarily worse off than AOT compilation, namely when it comes to utilising more modern instruction set extensions.
