yeah, I know I don't know much, but I have a question:
HOW DOES IT COMPILE TO A NATIVE CODE?
Since AOT is an experiment, it shouldn't be used to compile it, right?
It is written mostly in C #, so how is it compiled? Do you use mono or .NET Framework?
I know what bootstrapping is.

The CLR (CoreCLR or Mono) is written in C++. The C# sources are libraries and not compiled in native. They are JITed by CLR at runtime.

Oh, sorry. I didn't see the CoreCLR directory.
My last question: Can I compile libraries with AOT?
