    Can when the specific situations are reached in very micro benchmark situations. But overall on aggregate you find even JIT languages don’t strictly outperform pre compiled languages for general workflows when looking at languages of a similar class. When you compare them to compiled languages like C/C++/rust/zip (aka ones without a GC or much of a runtime at all) then JIT languages fall behind like all other GCed languages.

      Most of the time yeah. But it depends as you can write c# with very little GC use if you avoid allocations.

      Ahead of time compiling also gets things much closer. But then you lose runtime optimization.
