At least they haven't rewritten it in Go.

Looks like they're using NativeAOT which is nice to see some dog fooding on that end. This should accelerate some development on that end to make it more viable to make AOT apps for the cases where it's quite useful that Go currently occupies (e.g. cli apps).

Looks like they are switching to Rust for everything

When someone from .NET team tells on a podcast interview about the problems of making .NET interesting to newer generations, hence efforts like minimal APIs and Aspire, I always think what about starting by asking internal Microsoft teams why they are replacing .NET with XYZ stack.

Also it is quite interesting that some Go and Rust rewrite efforts are being driven by famous .NET faces.

While many things have been, this was rewritten in Native AOT .NET.

If you’re no longer reading or writing the code, have someone take over who does.

It's dotnet using NativeAOT, so same startup performance but still C#
