We've been experimenting with NativeAOT for years with ASP.NET Core (which does runtime code generation all over the place). The most promising prototypes thus far are: - https://github.com/davidfowl/FasterActions - https://github.com/davidfowl/uController They are source generated version of what ASP.NET does today (in both MVC and minimal APIs). There are some ergonomic challenges with source generators that we'll likely be working through over the coming years so don't expect magic. Also its highly unlikely that ASP.NET Core will not depend on any form of reflection. Luckily, "statically described" reflection generally works fine with NativeAOT. Things like configuration binding, DI, Logging, MVC, JSON serialization all rely on some form of reflection today and it will be non-trivial to remove all of it but we can get pretty far with N

As of right now, we're trying to make sure "motivated people" can play with it, but it's not something that is supported by ASP.NET Core or EF at the moment. https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/pulls?q=is%3Apr+nativea...
