Re: Baby... Bathwater?

but at the time, the CLR was so significantly slower than running native instructions that they ended up having to abandon the entire concept and rewrite from scratch

Makes we wonder why they didn't try again. Ngen has been around since 2005, and it compiles CLR into native x86/x64 images.

I don't think C# nativized would be much worse than a good C++ compiler.
