It is the POSIX version of .NET Native, for AOT compilation into native code.

Using a much better compiler backend than NGEN, similar to Mono when targeting iOS.

Additionally, it is also adding WASM as target "CPU".

.NET Core only does JIT currently, the generated binary is a mini-bootstrap code that starts the runtime and feeds the main application Assembly into it.

Thanks for the explanation. It’s good to see that Microsoft finally decided to port .net native to other platforms than uwp.
