I'm excited about the improved Native AoT support in .NET 8 since it'll (in theory) let me deploy C# apps to servers without having to install the runtime. This existed in .NET 7 but was improved a lot in 8, including adding ASP .NET support.

AoT requires some big changes as the trimming step can massively break reflection.
So they've had to put a lot of work into things like serialisation, DI, asp.net etc to remove the need for reflection.
Luckily we have source generators to fill the hole left by reflection. But they can only be used when all information is available at compile time so doesn't always fix the problem but in many cases it's fine.
