@braeden AOT (Ahead-of-time) compilation is a type of compilation that takes place before runtime. During AOT compilation, a source code file is translated into an executable binary file that is ready to be executed, enabling faster load times and better performance. AOT compilation is more efficient than Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation because the code can be pre-compiled before the program is executed. As a result, AOT compilation can produce faster running programs, as the code does not need to be recompiled each time it is run.
