What you are looking for is called F#. You get native interop with C# and access to all .NET/C# libraries as a bonus. We use it as a daily driver for a complex B2B2C cloud platform.

Does it not run in a VM?

Yes you are right, it does not properly support NativeAOT yet.

But it isn't a need for most use cases, unless you want to do mobile development and meet app store policies. But even then, mature F# frameworks like Fable transpile your F# code to React & Cie.

It can be compiled, but that’s not the use case it was originally designed around, so it’s not quite as first class an experience as with Go or Rust.

You can embed the framework into the application so it is a single distributable.
