[dotnet] Why not use .Net Core

[wuliangtdi]

We know that .net core supports windows, liunx and macos, and the performance of .net core is better than Mono. I want to support .net core.

@wuliangtdi We skip .NET Core and straight to the latest .NET6 and later .NET7

Just a personal feedback, could you add [dotnet] to your title, to be consistent with how the Godot team label Godot issue => [dotnet] Why not use .Net Core

For Godot4 dotnet6 Linux @lewiji is the person from Godot community

wow,it's so great.The performance of godot will be better.Does godot4 also use .net 6 on Windows?

[GeorgeS2019]

We can get Godot4 .NET6 to compile, run and display using MSVC on Windows 11, however there is still some bugs with MSVC. It can not create csproj project and attach a cs# scripts

We need more people to try build and report problems to the Godot team working on the dotnet6 branch for Windows.

The next step is to use LLVM-MinGW to cross compile from Linux to Windows. This could by pass the problem using MSVC (hopefully)

csharp will be compiled into machine code, and the performance will be improved a lot. I am looking forward to the arrival of godot4.thanks for your answer

How to compile Godot4 dotnet6 Windows using MSVC

[Delpire]

I would be a little specific about performance improvements by going from mono to .NET Core/5/6. The performance improvements will really only affect the code you write and the performance of _Process. Things like draw calls and physics calculations (which are often the biggest performance issues) likely won't be improved by going to .NET 6 as far as I understand it.

Regardless, I think there will be a huge amount of workflow improvements (easier debugging, performance monitoring, etc.), when .NET 6 is finally supported.

[GeorgeS2019]

@Delpire do consider providing feedback/suggestions on easier debugging, performance monitoring, etc. on [dotnet] Godot4: supporting the transition from mono to dotnet6
