AOT compilation doesn't really solve the problem. You also need to get closer to the metal with the language, data types, algorithms, only then you can get significant performance increase. But this only postpones the problem, hardware is still capped by the end of Moore's law and will push you into concurrency and distributed systems sooner or later. And which language does it better will be an important factor.
