The dot net foundation has released a lot of the language components, this appears to be a different compilation target.

It looks like this project skips the common intermediate language, and compiles straight to native processor code or Web Assembly (Ahead of Time compilation).

You get to skip the overhead of Just In Time compilation.

> common intermediate language

Common Intermediate Language is the standard name for MSIL.
