F# has been my favorite language since I first encountered it in uni. F# was/is waaaay out ahead of C# with features like unions, null safety, pattern matching, records, more powerful type inference and generic constraints. Over the y

How much of a throughput penalty do those options incur on the application?

It isn't trivial but it is supported. Here is an example [0] toy. I am not aware of any production grade replacement GCs for .NET out there currently https://github.com/kkokosa/UpsilonGC

There is very little new under the sun. It reminds me of the wheel of time books, as the wheel turns we forget about the learnings of the previous age and reinvent them for ourselves. Often worse.

> As for a delete operator, you can just roll your own struct based allocation framework that uses IDisposable to reclaim memory. But then you need to deal with all the traditional bugs like use-after-free and double-free and the like. I

Ref-structs can also implement interfaces now too. The C# compiler team has been really delivering in this space the last few iterations

>Anything that uses classes and interfaces will be memory managed by the GC... Yes and no. Yes, almost all of the standard library collection are allocation heavy and it is still the dominate pattern in C#, so if you want to avoid the GC

Span and ref-like types enable massive changes to the way that memory is managed in C#. You can absolutely write almost GC-less code. I have been tinkering with a toy no-GC database engine in C# based on Direct I/O and some object pool

This is where I fall back to Property Based Testing[0] and let the engine probe the high dimensional test space for me. The test then becomes something like Check.Sample( Gen.Bool, Gen.Bool, Gen.Bool (loggedIn, hasGreenHair, li

I'm going to note also after digesting the article further that CsCheck has support for "stateful"/"model-based" testing in addition to property-based testing. It also supports the linearizable/parallel te

For my C#/.NET testing I've been using CsCheck[0] and I've enjoyed it quite a bit. It was a lot more approachable compared to Hedgehog and FsCheck and is also quite fast. [0] https://github.com/AnthonyLloyd&#x

I've found the DX of Dafny to be very approachable. The VSCode extension is pretty great, and you get feedback as you type. Also, its ability to give you counter examples in the IDE is really nice.

Always cool to see Dafny mentioned! Shameless plug: I just wrote a beginner's introduction to Dafny a few days ago. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/getting-started-dafny-your-fi...

Since it looks like they hit the spreadsheet row limit, this is a friendly reminder that the "Data Model" or "Power Pivot" mode [1] of excel scales far beyond [2] the spreadsheet mode. [1] https://support.offi

GitHub is killing it with these features. I wonder how long Azure Repos will survive on it's own.

It is ok, but I would not recommend it. It got off to a great start but I ran into problems/limitations with some fairly basic stuff. I can't recall exactly what my issue was with it however, it has been a few months.
