Chuck Norris of writing StackOverflow answers.
What notable code has he written?
- simplyinfinity 7y agoHe is the author of a quite popular (in .net world) date & time library called NodaTime[0]. [0] https://github.com/nodatime/nodatime https://github.com/nodatime/nodatime
- qes 7y agoPorting a Java project to C# doesn't make one a "Chuck Norris" developer. Popularity is irrelevant.
- jameshart 7y agoAssuming you're genuinely curious, some of Jon Skeet's achievements for which he has not received any SO karma include: Noda Time - https://github.com/nodatime/nodatime/graphs/contributors https://github.com/nodatime/nodatime/graphs/contributors The C# Protobuf port - https://github.com/jskeet/protobuf-csharp-port/graphs/contributors https://github.com/jskeet/protobuf-csharp-port/graphs/contri... Noda time is one of the top 100 downloaded packages on nuget. That's quite a significant contribution to the .NET open source ecosystem - especially for someone whose day job is programming Java at Google, so these are pure side projects (. He also wrote C# In Depth which is one of the standards by which programming language books should be judged (up with books like K&R, JavaScript: The Good Parts, and Essential Java).
- qes 7y agoI'm not curious; I'm already aware. NodaTime is a port. He didn't come up with those ideas. He translated Java code to C#. protobuf isn't much different, either.
