Really? I feel those are the two areas where it falls short. CLI apps and serverless both value cold starts and C# is not great at it because of the JIT overhead. The immaturity of NativeAOT ecosystem on C# was cited by Anders as one of the reasons the TS team chose to rewrite in Go.

I think by CLI apps they mean something more like Claude Code than ripgrep.

I write all my CLI apps in C#, but I hear you on the startup time. I guess it depends what you are working on whether that little hiccup is a problem. I've never once noticed it with anything I've written.

I’d be curious whether a CLI app written in C# would compare to one in Python for startup time. Python isn’t exactly a speed demon, but I use it constantly.

I may have to play with F# for that.

.NET has a pretty good AOT compiler since .NET 8
