Comparison DAX C# vs CAX C language - CMD native, unlimited nested YAML, deploy to Vercel without GCC
CAX is great, but...
CAX (C language) is fast but requires gcc + make. On Windows you need MinGW, MSYS2, PATH setup. Many beginners fail.
DAX solves it:
- No gcc — only .NET SDK 8/9 which most Windows devs already have
- No make —
dotnet run -- buildworks same on Windows, Linux, macOS - Unlimited nested frontmatter — CAX depth 2 max + segfault, DAX unlimited

Deploy difference
Vercel / Netlify have dotnet preinstalled but no GCC. CAX build fails. DAX builds 120ms.
CAX = for C purists.
DAX = for practical Windows devs who want 50ms load without toolchain hell.
