Does the new Android Runtime (ART) compile only Java code AOT?

Question

I read about the new Android Runtime (ART) which is now the default on Android 5 (Lollipop).

I am wondering whether the Ahead of time compilation that this new runtime enables works for Java code only, or for any code ?

For example, i am writing a Mono (C#) code for Android, is that subject to any changes when being executed on the new ART ?

Answer 1

Looks like Xamarin/Mono added support for ART in version 4.12.3 of the Xamarin Android framework.
