Thanks. That sounds pretty cool! Where does the conversion happen? Does it compile C# directly to target code, or it converts from .NET IL?



C# is compiler to IL.

The IL linker operates over the IL code (typically C# produced, but we are working now on adding also F#) and produces the minimal set needed to run.

Then we compile the resulting linked IL to ARM code, and then we run the result using the C linker (so the same removal of unused code takes place, this time for the C bits of Mono).


That's neat. Just downloaded the installer and I'm gonna give it a try later today. Good job!
