Project mention: The Rust Calling Convention We Deserve | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-18

What you may have been looking for is these:
- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/nati...
- https://github.com/dotnet/samples/blob/main/core/nativeaot/N...
Mono has been a stable choice for embedding in game-script style scenarios, in particular, because of the ability to directly call its methods inside providing the caller honors the calling convention correctly, but it has been slowly becoming more of a liability as you are missing out on a lot of performance by not hosting CoreCLR instead, if that is the desired scenario.
For .dll/.so/.dylib's, it is easier and often better to just build a native library with naot instead (you can also produce a statically linkable binaries but it might have issues on e.g. macOS which has...not the most reliable linker that likes to take breaking changes).

Project mention: Project Type GUID Changed when coworkers opens solution on their PC Why? | /r/dotnetcore | 2023-06-27

The .NET Core one was necessary once. Today msbuild (and I believe VS too) uses heuristics instead, so it does not matter which GUID you use.

Project mention: Is breaking out from an infinite async iterator via cancellation considered a code smell? | /r/dotnet | 2023-06-09

👍 I've reported an issue here, let's see how it goes. I think it will probably be turned down 🙂
