Hi All,

I looked all over the interwebs for an article or something about AoT template compiling for Aurelia and was surprised that I didn’t find much except for some folks saying they hope it’s implemented soon. I’m sure the core team has at least thought about it and I’m curious if the thinking is that it wouldn’t provide much benefit (cause Aurelia’s so awesome it doesn’t need it), or if it’s on the roadmap. Does anyone have any insights on this topic?

Thanks,  
jpray

It is on the roadmap AFAIK and the team is playing with ideas here
