[OT] .NET is compiled to native code in Windows Phone 8

[Paulo Pinto]

Now Build 2012 is happening and the new Windows Phone 8 features 
have been revealed.

One of the most interesting is that .NET applications are 
actually compiled to native code as well, before being made 
available for download.

Assuming Microsoft eventually releases a native code compiler for 
C# (better than NGEN), this will make D use harder in the 
enterprise. :\
