I have a soft spot for 0-dependency projects.

Feels like the old times when every other project didn't look like a supply chain attack waiting to happen.

Curious… why not a single app.cs instead of slnx + csproj boilerplate? The moment you `dotnet app.cs` it will be a cached and fast to start

I think the app.cs approach is mainly for single file apps/scripts. While this is small there are two projects and several files so a solution + project files seems totally standard.
