Overview
Explore the concept of creating a .NET runtime in .NET itself through this NDC London 2021 conference talk. Dive into the Mobius project, a proof-of-concept endeavor that challenges conventional thinking about runtime implementation. Learn about the fundamentals of .NET runtimes, including Virtual Execution System (VES), JIT compilation, and interpreted execution. Discover the design principles behind sharing components, metadata handling, and JIT implementation in a .NET-based runtime. Gain insights into deep .NET runtime internals and understand the potential implications of this experimental approach. Follow along as the speaker discusses the challenges and possibilities of writing a .NET runtime as a .NET application, offering a unique perspective on runtime development and execution.
