Well, I majored in compiler design.

Ahead of time compilation is used to describe the process of generating machine code at compilation time, in a form that can be executed directly by a processor without any additional transformation process.

Which clearly is not happening here, as the code is converted into JavaScript and relies on a JavaScript implementation to run. Regardless of the optimization processes used by the JavaScript engine.
