> ...F#/C# being JIT'ed...

Nope, NGEN exists since .NET 1.0, .NET Native since Windows 8, Mono aot since ages, and then there are the third party tooling like IL2CPP.



Thanks. I was not aware of this, since I've not worked on a Microsoft stack for a long time. Are those F# AOT compilers mature and support all features, including libraries? In this case F# would be a viable alternative to OCaml for Jane-Street-like tasks.


Yes, but GC is usually seen as the major .NET performance concern not AOT vs. JIT, which may be faster in some instances.
