> LLVM binaries I wouldn’t want LLVM, I like JIT. The binaries are CPU and OS agnostic; sometimes I debug C# code on AMD64 Win10 which then runs on Alpine Linux with ARMv7 and ARM64 CPU. It’s relatively easy to generate code in runtime, allows to beat C performance in some cases, and enables good serialization libraries. Binaries are tiny because CIL is more efficient than machine code. In modern .NET startup time is pretty good despite the JIT. Also, on modern hardware you wouldn’t want short-lived processes being launching at kilohertz frequency regardless on the language. Because cache hierarchy, you’d want to reuse RAM pages over time as much as possible. > no MS involved I think after the complete thing is cross platform and open source, MS involvement is not a huge deal anymore.
