So in practice, one can do it in C#, and if later he wants to add assembly optimization, it can also be done. |
It's not really 'write in C# then optimize it later' like cython or w/e, it's
CLR needs to extract the embedded native DLL somewhere (Windows needs to have a file for the DLL to load it - it cannot load an image from raw memory)

So even if you want to do DLLception and save 1 DLL, you'll need to extract the C++ part when you use it, leaving you with 2 DLLs, which is no saving at all.
