The only missing thing in NativeAOT (for my use cases) is EF Core. It's getting there. Once EF Core works well on NativeAOT, C# would be a fantastic alternative to Go.


Amazon has sponsored the author of Dapper to work on Dapper AOT for this exact reason since it’s an important target for AWS Lambdas.

Is there a blog post on the Amazon sponsorship? Couldn't find anything on a quick search.



Marc Gravell himself works in Microsoft, doesn't he ?


yup, unless that's changed recently. he and Nick Craver have been making some great impacts there.


Can it compete with golang on compilation speed?

It doesn't need to be exactly as fast but similar ball-park would help. If it could, then it would indeed be a fantastic alternative.


Yeah, because specially you can do everything with JIT and only AOT when publishing, and it is still reasonable anyway.

Go isn't special, the world just happened to forget how fast AOT compiled languages with modules used to be, before C and C++ took over with their text file inclusion model.

No.
