I didn’t deduce it from the name. I deduced it from over a decade experience working primarily with .Net.

Since I can’t presume the reader has equivalent experience, especially in HN, pointing to the name, which should be a good signifier of what something does (to be fair, MS really, really sucks at naming), is a good shorthand.

The real reason .Net isn’t good for embedded devices is because MS didn’t develop it for embedded devices. They’ve only added low level memory management in the past few years.

Until recently you couldn’t even create a fully statically compiled executable.
