🎯 Introduction
In .NET, you often hear about Roslyn and RyuJIT.
Both are compilers, but they work at different stages of the pipeline: Roslyn compiles C# into IL, while RyuJIT compiles IL into machine code.

👶 Fresher Level: Analogy
Imagine publishing a book:
Roslyn → The author and translator who converts your story (C# code) into a common language (IL).
RyuJIT → The printing press that takes the manuscript (IL) and produces final books (machine code).
Without Roslyn, the story isn’t understandable. Without RyuJIT, the story never reaches the readers.
👨💻 Experienced Level: Technical Breakdown
Roslyn (C# Compiler Platform)
Compiles C# → IL (Intermediate Language).
Exposes APIs for code analysis, refactoring, and tooling.
Runs at build-time.
RyuJIT (Runtime JIT Compiler)
Compiles IL → Native machine code.
Optimized for 64-bit and cross-platform.
Runs at runtime, just before execution.

🏗️ Architect Level: Enterprise Perspective
For architects:
Roslyn → Enables advanced tooling (IDE IntelliSense, analyzers, refactoring tools).
RyuJIT → Impacts runtime performance and startup time.
Optimization Choices →
Use ReadyToRun (AOT) to reduce JIT overhead.
Use Roslyn analyzers to enforce coding standards across teams.
Together, Roslyn and RyuJIT ensure productivity at build-time and efficiency at runtime.
🚀 Closing Thoughts
Roslyn and RyuJIT are like the translator and printing press in the .NET world.
One ensures your code is understandable (IL), the other ensures it runs fast (native code).
