Because my lack of experience in the subject matter, I'm afraid I can't be more specific rather can only speculate.

AOT sounds great but what matters to me is that I cannot afford a Windows machine. For me, developer tooling must be first class citizen on Mac and Linux, equally.

I'm not up to date on that either.
