Is there a language or tool with no runtime? Also Config files can be JSON. I find nothing weird when it comes to .NET on linux vs any other technology

The Redis runtimes are colloquially referred to as "Linux" and do not have to be installed by the user.

I think you're really picking at nits.

"apt install redis-server" on my server says that the following will be installed:

- libjemalloc2

- liblzf1

- redis-tools

Garnet requires .NET, so...

apt install aspnetcore-runtime-8.0

Acting like Redis works "out of the box" while Garnet requires a whole other paradigm shift is disingenuous. I have no dog in the fight - I use macOS and I don't use Redis or Garnet.

Just flag+downvote and move on, it's been 8 years already and it never changes.

While on the topic of macOS, Swift Library Evolution ABI support is coming .NET for native integration with Swift (particularly for system APIs). I have not tried it yet but it's an interesting feature AFAIK no other language has, well, besides Swift itself.
