## What it is
PowerUp is a collection of .NET-based productivity utilities including a live IDE watcher that compiles, decompiles, and disassembles code from C#, F#, Go, Rust, and C++ into IL, IR, and x86 assembly. It also provides a .NET JIT disassembler, IL compiler, and a richly formatted console.

## Use cases
- inspect the x86 assembly generated by my C# code
- see what the .NET JIT compiles a method to
- watch a Rust or Go file and disassemble it live while editing
- benchmark small C# methods and view their IL
- inspect class and struct memory layouts in C#
- learn how high-level code maps to assembly with jump guides and ASM docs

## When to choose
- you want to understand JIT/IL/assembly output of .NET code interactively
- you need a lightweight live compiler-explorer-style tool for C#, Rust, Go, or C++
- you want to benchmark and run small code snippets while inspecting generated code

## When to avoid
- you need a full production decompiler like ILSpy or Ghidra
- you need IDE-integrated debugging rather than a terminal watcher
- you require a permissively licensed tool, since PowerUp is AGPL-3.0
