C# is fine. But last I checked, the AOT compilation generates a bunch of .dll files, which are not suitable for a CLI program like Go's zero dependencies binary.

C# can create single-binary executables, even without native AOT.

They are still going to significant bigger than the equivalent golang binary because of the huge .NET runtime, no?

Depends on how well trimming works. It's probably still larger than Go even with trimming, but Go also has a runtime and won't produce tiny binaries.

You can choose how the linking process is done, just like you can chose to have a a Go binary with dependencies.

C# has an option to publish to a single self-contained file.

It would be big enough that people would find it annoying (unless using AOT which is hard).
