Indeed, even Java and .NET are improving their AOT stories, while available since the early days, weren't as widely deployed as they could have been.

Hopefully soon Java will have a friction-less path to compiling to native. As of now, its quite difficult for anything that isn't trivial.

It has been trivial since 2000, but you had to buy a commercial JDK to get it.

It is not trivial. Have you tried compiling any large app with graal? Anything with Weld or hibernate or H2 embedded? It has a lot of friction and isn't as easy as just running mvn package.
