C#/dotNet has Ahead of Time compilation that works very well with containerization. Obviously there are still overheads for the AoT runtime, but it is pruned.

AOT would solve a lot of these problems if it didn't have show-stopping restrictions like "you can't use reflection" and "you can't use native sessions".

Reflection doesn't work with AOT because there is nothing left to reflect on... it's compiled away. You can't use reflection with C, C++ or Rust either, doesn't mean you can't use them for useful things.
