C#/dotNet has Ahead of Time compilation that works very well with containerization. Obviously there are still overheads for the AoT runtime, but it is pruned.

AOT would solve a lot of these problems if it didn't have show-stopping restrictions like "you can't use reflection" and "you can't use native sessions".

  • Reflection doesn't work with AOT because there is nothing left to reflect on... it's compiled away. You can't use reflection with C, C++ or Rust either, doesn't mean you can't use them for useful things.
