Well at the moment I'm not sure a full AOT of a rails app is possible
Rails uses a lot of filesystem tricks to load its libraries, which means
that turning them into classes would probably interfere with loading.

In general AOT is going to be great for large single applications, where
you can have the whole app load up and execute. I'm also looking for
folks to play with it, try it out, and see what more needs to be done to
improve it. It's also certainly possible we could have it generate all
method handles up front to avoid generating them at runtime.

There's lots of room for ideas :)
