Where did you get that they compile C# to C++? I thought .NET Native was compiling to machine code, maybe with IL in between, but certainly not via another high-level language.

  Ah, thanks. Didn't notice that part. So it's more an option, among others, while the "normal" .NET Native toolchain directly goes the IL → machine code route via RyuJIT.

    .NET Native doesn't use RyuJIT, rather Visual C++'s backend. CoreRT uses RyuJIT.
