> so security isn't a C# or java advantage, on the contrary. nor is performance. what is, then? The language itself is type-safe and memory safe, which is a huge advantage. See the big comment for an explanation of threats and mitigations for type-unsafe languages. A third solution is to use a new language that doesn't suffer those particular flaws, which is what C# and Java are. It may be possible to run some C# programs exclusively using AOT compilation. Programs that don't use reflection (I suspect most) would be perfectly safe to pre-compile and load with the AOT mechanism. Things like IKVM or IronPython .. well, they need JIT or they become excessively slow.
