Well when macOS feels heavier now than before so is that 2x really a 2x?

Seriously. The collection of tools there shouldn't even be 1/3 of the space being used. Software is so bloated now a days it's crazy to say "ahh 1 GB no problem", "ahh 2GB of memory usage no problem". I ho

I like powertoys but it’s taking 1.17Gig of space. That should be illegal

Please for the love of God no. I rather have something completely agnostic of an IDE. OpenCode is doing the right thing IMO

If increased productivity means your output is the same but now you produce it quicker, sure! But lets be honest, this is rarely the case and the “free” time is now filled with more work.

It will probably get there one day since all BCL is annotated. Perhaps this is not done because you can have parts of the library be completely safe to use in AOT while another part not be.

C#, with default tooling, can compile without needing a VM, for windows, macOS, linux and some other platforms.

The goal post must be moved. I constantly hear “there is no GUI story”… well thats not a core part of the language!

I assume OP is taking about using -Zbuild-std on nightly. This will drop it much more.

C# can do this with structs. Its kind of very nice to unpack wire data.

I don't understand how OP thinks that being oblivious how anything work underneath is a good thing. There is a threshold of abstraction to which you must know how it works to effectively fix it when it breaks.

Is this backed by real evidence?
