There was GCJ that used to do this for Java. Sadly it has been discontinued.

It is interesting how every old is new again, we went from AOT to JIT and Back to AOT again.

There are lots of other AOT compilers for Java available.

Yep, we already went through this as everyone founded out P-Code wasn't fast enough. Then Anders Hejlsberg created Turbo Pascal.
