BurstCompiler

Overview
Burst is an LLVM based math-aware backend Compiler Technology. It takes the C# jobs and produces highly-optimized code taking advantage of the particular capabilities of the platform.
Burst is primarily designed to work efficiently with the Job system.
Burst is working on a subset of .NET that doesn't allow the usage of any managed objects/reference types in your code (class in C#).
Supports a subset of C#.
Language Support
Unsupported features:
Types:
char (this will be supported in a future release)
string as this is a managed type
decimal
Managed arrays: You should use instead a native container, NativeArray<T> for instance.
catch
try/finally (which will come at some point)
foreach as it is requiring try/finally (This should be supported in a future version)
Storing to static fields except via Shared Static
Any methods related to managed objects (e.g string methods...etc.)
