The State of Linkers for .NET apps (aka “Please Sir, May I have a Linker” 2009 edition)
问题 Many people here are probably familiar with one of Joel Spolsky most popular blog posts, Please Sir, May I Have a Linker, where he cries out for a way to remove dependencies on the .NET framework so a stand-alone application can be developed and sold. Jason Zander of the Visual Studio development team, at the time, replied with his views on the topic, arguing that the topic is somewhat moot - the ability to fix security problems in the runtime (among other points) was their chief concern.
