> I just wish more company adopt .net instead of java, the new .net core thing is a game changer. C# is a good language, combined with the runtime that can run anywhere? it's even better.

Yeah. Much better. Until you try to run it from a network share. Or your quad core laptop "Intel inside " goes in thermal throttling because .NET is "optimizing".

I'm curious about what is going on while .NET is "optimizing"?

I haven't seen something like that, my laptop is AMD though? (I write .net code) Unsure how much of a difference that makes.

I like .Net, it's not without it's issues, I think the same is true with Java, having been the administrator for some Java servers in the past, I've seen plenty of Java issues that seemed crazy ~ but I think we're talking about how great things are now, maybe, while saying it doesn't matter because how bad the legacy tech is?

It's compiling interpreted code into machine code that's specific to the processor it's running on.

Without this step it can still run but being interpreted it runs slower.
