What’s the issue with net? It’s a modern cross platform open source language with very good performance

Let's say I want to use the agent on Linux/Mac. Then I'll need to install .NET runtime first, which I know I won't ever use for anything else. Then it's a hard no, unless I really don't have a choice (e.g. a different agent).

You don’t need to install the runtime (this has been true for years now).

There is self-contained publish option (with trimming).

And there is ahead-of-time compilation option to produce a fully native binary.

Though the latter is not for every API as of right now.
