X Four hexadecimal values enclosed in braces, where the

Unfortunately Linux doesn't split the argument in #!. So if you use /usr/bin/env, then it tries to use csharp -s as the literal executable name... (Which could be symlinked actually, but it'd be weird.)

You could use dotnet core csharp interactive: csi
