> Separate thought: .net AOT is still very much experimental. All sorts of things are silently incompatible with it, either in the "refuses to build" or the "crash at runtime" way. I'd only use it for small projects built from the ground up to be AOT.

It's certainly true that most things aren't AOT-compatible out of the box -- this is basically due to the heavy ecosystem reliance on reflection.

BUT, it definitely shouldn't be silently incompatible. We've spent a lot of time building "trimming warnings" (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/trim...) that should flag any and all incompatibilities.

If there's some incompatibility, a warning should be generated. If there isn't that's likely a bug on us (https://github.com/dotnet/runtime). But conversely, if there are no warnings, you should be guaranteed that the app should be AOT-compatible.
