Requiring all typescript users to install the .net runtime will probably kill adoption, especially on linux build servers. It still requires custom microsoft repos, if they're even available for your distro, and is barely upstreamed.

For Go, you just run the binary without any bullshit. This can easily be wrapped in an npm package to keep the current experience (`npm install` and it works) on all platforms.

Modern .NET usually ships the runtime or embeds it inside the binary. This is very different from the old Windows-only .NET Framework.
