interactive
.NET Interactive combines the power of .NET with many other languages to create notebooks, REPLs, and embedded coding experiences. Share code, explore data, write, and learn across your apps in ways you couldn't before.
There's a rule that if something is easy to invent, a bunch of people will cook up their own versions independently, sometimes even within the same organisation.
So... there's C# scripting (CSI.exe): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/msdn-magazine/2016...
Also PowerShell Add-Type that allows one-file inline C# scripting: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsof...
The Roslyn .CSX script files (RCSI.exe): https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/introducing-the-...
.NET Interactive: https://github.com/dotnet/interactive
... and now this.

sdk
Core functionality needed to create .NET Core projects, that is shared between Visual Studio and CLI (by dotnet)
There is even more info in the proposal itself https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/blob/main/documentation/genera... specifically things about multiple files and more specifics of the implementation and capabilities (implicit project file etc)

This also exists for Kotlin: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlin-script-examples/blob/master... (note that the file extension is load bearing in this case, if you don't name it "*.main.kts", it will not work).
It's excellent for writing small scripts/prototyping where you need access to some Kotlin/JVM feature.
Ruby is still my preferred language for small scripts though - the backticks for running external programs is remarkably ergonomic

Great, but unfortunately, even when compiled, the startup overhead is about half a second, which makes it unsuitable for many applications.
Swift does a much better job at this as interprets by default, and a compiled version starts instantaneously.
I made a transparent caching layer for your Swift cli apps: https://github.com/jrz/tools Result: instant native tools in one of the best languages out there.
dotnet run doesn't need it, as it already caches the compiled version (you can disable with --no-build or inspect the binaries with --artifacts-path)

Dotnet is getting a fully interpreted mode in 10 or 11 so I wonder if they'll switch to that for things like this

gorun
gorun is a tool enabling one to put a "bang line" in the source code of a Go program to run it, or to run such a source code file explicitly. It was created in an attempt to make experimenting with Go more appealing to people used to Python and similar languages which operate most visibly with source code.
The author's didn't come out against it; they came out in favor of using it as a programming language first and foremost. Tools like gorun https://github.com/erning/gorun have existing for almost as long as Go has, so if you want to use Go that way, it is easy to do.

> hypothetical cold start times
Long standing complaint about .NET / .NET Core
2017 Github issue: https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/1060
2018 Github issue: https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/1968
Regular people complaining, asking, and writing about it for years: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=cold+start+NET.&ia=web
Right up to this thread, today.
Why are you denying that this exists?

The builtin subcommand is unstable, but a long time ago a dev I knew at the time maintained an external subcommand for it. https://crates.io/crates/cargo-script
Although it's old and its dependencies are old, it doesn't have a dependency on cargo (it spawns cargo as a subprocess instead of via cargo API directly), so it might still work fine with latest toolchain. I haven't tried myself.

> This feature is probably a big thing for .NET developer productivity. It's quite a shame, that it only came now.
I am using https://github.com/dotnet-script/dotnet-script without any issues

I'm building a dotnet job orchestrator called Didact (https://www.didact.dev), and this is the sort of thing I was looking for years ago when I was first dreaming it up. Class libraries is the approach I am taking now, but this is still extremely interesting. Could see some interesting use cases for this...

.NET 9 will absolutely load a library that was built targeting .NET 5.
For instance, GraphQL was built targeting both .NET 5 and .NET Standard 2.0, as you can see towards the top of the NuGet page: https://www.nuget.org/packages/GraphQL
.NET 9 will use the .NET 5 build, not .NET Standard 2.0. (.NET Framework 4.8.x would use .NET Standard 2.0.) Because .NET 5 > .NET Standard 2.0.
Or Automapper 14 targets only .NET 8: https://www.nuget.org/packages/AutoMapper
It runs on .NET 9 and .NET 10.
