> class loader, hot reload Difficult in AOT environment and IIRC graal's native-image does a dependency analysis and builds a static binary. There is dlopen() in C, it is possible to dynamically load libraries. The problem is it doesn't play well with modern deployment scenarios compared to static linked binaries. > Reflection, GC These are possible to implement in an AOT language. See Golang.
