I don’t even know how to begin this post. I don’t think there has been as big an announcement for this project as support for .Net 8 and Native AOT. Yet here we are.

AOT is an interesting topic. That's one thing I like about GoLang - it compiles to a native exe without any runtime hosting requirements.

Here's another interesting topic: .Net 8 released a preview feature called Interceptors. It basically allows you to hijack existing code and rewrite it! Why would you want to do this? You normally won't, and most developers won't use it, but it allows, for example, the C# compiler to inspect code at compile time and, inject more efficient code.

For example, an interceptor could theoretically sniff out code that uses reflection and inject more efficient code, possibly based on the targeted runtime OS.

Here's a good article that explains it:
