- davidpelaez 9y agoI would also appreciate a little comment on this because the readme doesn't do much explaining what it is, why it's important, how it's different from .NET Core 2 compiler? To put it in another way, why is this so relevant?
- polskibus 9y agoSeems like this can/will target webassembly.
- algorithmsRcool 9y agoThe is already a partial backend for webassembly in the repo.
- pjmlp 9y agoIt is the POSIX version of .NET Native, for AOT compilation into native code. Using a much better compiler backend than NGEN, similar to Mono when targeting iOS. Additionally, it is also adding WASM as target "CPU". .NET Core only does JIT currently, the generated binary is a mini-bootstrap code that starts the runtime and feeds the main application Assembly into it.
- titanix2 9y agoThanks for the explanation. It’s good to see that Microsoft finally decided to port .net native to other platforms than uwp.
- Rick-Butler 9y agoThe dot net foundation has released a lot of the language components, this appears to be a different compilation target. It looks like this project skips the common intermediate language, and compiles straight to native processor code or Web Assembly (Ahead of Time compilation). You get to skip the overhead of Just In Time compilation.
