What’s the twist? There must be some reason.

.NET runs natively on Linux since quite some time. Honestly, I don't get what Mono is even good for these days. Maybe reverse engineering old .NET versions.

IIRC Mono was mostly used for WASM as it was optimized for smaller builds than the full fat CoreCLR (talking about .NET non-Framework Mono)

WASM? Are you talking about WebAssembly?

[–] NekkoDroid@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago
