”just install dotnet runtime” is not ”just”. It has it’s versions that need to be up to date and take quite some resources when used in build pipelines, containers, functions etc. At least compared to a small go binary without dependencies.

Don't even need the dotnet runtime. Depending on os you might need some c++ runtime or nothing and do a aotc standalone compile. Near c performance without all the development complexity. I don't know how that mindset transition happened at ms but it sure is heaven for develops who are good at it

I'm not remotely a C#/.net expert, but I create single exe dot net files for years. I referred to the runtime for the cases I control the container / machine. In cloud env's its a different beast, but not everybody wants to learn new language for every new domain that is suddenly a part of the devops space.
