Was always possible to compile+run C# on Linux using the Mono project. Until Microsoft “bought them out” and created .NET Core, a cross platform version of .NET that MS now encourages people to use instead…
Microsoft’s new linux compile tools rub me the wrong way slightly, with the telemetry that’s opt-in by default.
Mono is still extremely valuable for older .NET Framework apps under WINE though, way easier to setup compared to the official installers from what i’ve experienced.
No idea how compiled C# compares to C…
Compiled C# is about half the speed of C/C++

But it also doesn’t have memory leaks lol
Definitely. I’ve worked professionally in both. They both have a time and place. I’d be fine with moving all the low level stuff to Rust, but transitions don’t happen by decree so C/C++ will be around for the next 100 years too.
True that, I’m only at the beginning of my programming journey, so I have a very rough understanding of the differences, pros/cons, and best use cases for various languages.
