Hi Bahamut, welcome! we'd love to chat with you guys (feel free to reach out to me with a DM on twitter). We'd love to share what we learned and learn from what you learned!
As for the slowness of the page, this is GitHub. It is currently down :(
As for AOT, that's definitely a priority for us (we were talking about it as a team yesterday and are working hard to make it a possibility for Clarity so we're definitely on the same page there).
