asdf-dotnet-core VS bflat

I like asdf for language version management https://github.com/emersonsoares/asdf-dotnet-core

Of all the possible ways to handle toolchains on Linux, I'm quite happy with asdf[1]. I've successfully built stand-alone fsharp/csharp "Hello worlds" off of dotnet via asdf - but I've not used dot.net in anger.

I chiefly like asdf because I typically need at least two toolchains (with various versions for various projects) - eg ruby and nodejs, or python and nodejs.

I've been wondering how to integrate modern .NET Core into a custom build system (buck2) and was wondering similar things. There's this project I think is cool called bflat[1] that basically makes the C# compiler more like the Go compiler in the sense it's a one-shot single-use tool that can cross compile binaries natively. It's done by one of the people on the .NET Runtime team as a side project, but quite neat.

I think in practice you're supposed to compile whole .dll's or assemblies all at once, which acts as the unit of compilation; I don't think the csharp compiler generates native object-files-for-every-.cs, the kind of approach you'd expect from javac or g++. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong though! I'd like to learn more about this.

You can compile without a GC using https://github.com/bflattened/bflat

nice. have you tried compile it using https://github.com/bflattened/bflat to have native executable? as long as you don't have PackgeReference it can be compiled using bflat instead of full dotnet

The creator actually addresses this issue:

A crazy example here.
