  • Not the Stephen Toub blog post I was waiting for, but I have no complaints.

    (Stephen Toub writes the yearly "Performance improvements in .NET x" post, always before the GA release in November)

  • I have started using Avalonia, and even though I am still learning, I am very satisfied with it. There are growing pains obviously, but as you said, I have no confidence in Microsoft UI frameworks.

  • It's a great text editor, yes. An IDE though, it is not. It gets close with various addons, but it's still not the same experience.

  • MonoDevelop died for this.

    (Disclaimer: I haven't used MonoDevelop to know its quality, I'm just tempted by the idea of a free cross-platform .NET IDE. Microsoft took MonoDevelop, forked it into VS for Mac, left the former stagnate, and now is killing its closed-source descendant.)

  • Does it effectively output a single binary?

    Yes, that's one of the points of NativeAOT, a self-contained single binary, exactly as Go does it.

    Does it create some kind of clusterf*k and awkward packaging formats like other MS solutions such as UWP?

    No, you can create .exe files.

    Will it actually be deployable to a random fresh install of Debian 12 or Windows 10?

    Yes, NativeAOT supports Windows, Linux and MacOS, x64 and Arm64.

    What about compatibility with older systems?

    Not sure about that, I suppose it depends on the targets each .NET version support. For example, .NET 8 will drop RHEL 7 and only RHEL 8 and later.

    And to play devil's advocate: this won't work for all existing .NET applications. If you use reflection (which is AOT unfriendly), chances are that you will have to rework a ton of stuff in order to get to a point where NativeAOT works. There's a middle solution though, called ReadyToRun, which has some advantages compared to running fully with the JIT compiler.
