  > What they want is to get rid of apps like YouTube Vanced
I think it is also very telling where they're rolling out first. Brazil, Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore.

It felt weird that the official press release was quoting entities from these countries, as if it should give confidence to the rest of the world. I can't imagine what these countries would want with apps that can be traced back to a government id...

Vanced and such is more of a First World/Western issue. I don't think you're wrong but I got a strong gut feeling there's other pressures in the works. Just something doesn't smell right...

Vance is just as big if not bigger problem there.

The writing's been on the wall for custom ROMs in general for a while, so I've been starting to think about a mobile phone vendor I could actually have a decent business relationship with. I.e. use their stock ROM and be fairly happy with it.

Any opinions? Samsung was a candidate for their somewhat unified ecosystem. Maybe even apple.

This is the weirdest thing to see here. However, if you want to fix nose-blindness, just smell into coffee beans. Most perfumeries have a glass of coffee beans.

> Microsoft has unfortunately chosen to neglect C for a long time, its compilers dragging far behind the rest of the pack.

Is this still true? MSVC is pretty good at compiling C++ nowadays

Compare performance, features or anything of Clang and MSVC and you'll see the differences.

Author here.

When I started this journey I had a hard time figuring out how open source il2cpp actually was, and it seemed to be heavily tied to unity. All the docs seemed heavily geared towards unity usage as well.

Likewise, some of my long term goals with the project involve writing code that can run on low end embedded platforms that may not have the C++ standard library available to it. So I had two main goals:

1. Create a system where C# could be run on very low end systems (esp32, arduino, etc...) 2. Allow the C# code to be easily referenced in a non-C# project for platforms that don't allow it.

So I ended up making my own system, as il2cpp and others didn't quite fit some of these bills. I targetted C to make sure that any C compiler could be used, so if an embedded platform has a custom gcc based compiler it could still be used (I think that's the case with the compiler that PVSnesLib uses for its `tcc` compiler).

Interesting, thank you for the insight.

Neat, but with restrictions like no reference types and looking at the examples, they are far from idiomatic C# as to be almost indistinguishable from C I'm trying to figure out the motivation. Maybe it's "because you can" which is fine, but are there any advantages to this approach over using C directly?

EDIT: I overlooked the reddit post and comments and jumped straight into the repo, it looks like the creator is on an insane quest to get C# to run anywhere haha, I didn't realize the C tanspiler was by the same author.

How about il2cpp? Then you could just use LLVM to compile it to just about anything
