Re:Microsoft asking for engineer to work on a native compile... by nicwise on Wednesday November 28, 2012 @08:29AM (#4842380)
Yup, thats exactly what Monotouch does. It's something like:

C# -> IL -> Mono AOT* -> ARM binary -> xcode/LLVM -> normal iOS binary

* AOT = ahead of time compiler - like JIT, but... before it's needed. There is a linker step in there to remove a load of stuff too.

Works _great_.
