While it is possible, it is certainly less than stellar compared to the other languages that were reviewed. Granted my experience was 1 - 2 yrs ago with .Net Core 5. I recall having to deal with setting different temp directories each time I wanted to run a another instance of a 'single binary' because the first thing it did was unzip the bundled runtime into the system wide TEMP directory. It certainly was a single file app but behaved more like an installer.

Whoever came up with that obviously didn't understand the why of single .exe applications.
