Something of a passion project. It's going to fail horribly if you try and use it, I'm sure, but it can already do some neat stuff!
This sounds like something a furry would name their project :)
But it’s not Rust!
I didn't want to reimplement all the assembly-reading nonsense that comes for free with System.Reflection.Metadata. The `dotnetdll` crate exists but is GPL. Also in F# I can fall back to the CLR for fiddly things I don't want to implement (like the arithmetic opcodes on floats or whatever).
Oh, there are furries all over tech — there are those who haven't discovered Rust yet, for instance...
