What Hacker News says
15 sourcesYou really should google before you make remarks... I'm also going to ignore the widely distributed remark because it is ridiculous.
> No-one's writing a database server
RavenDB, which can be run in a cluster, and uses less CPU (and I've read memory) than MongoDB itself.
There's also a recent C# based redis drop-in replacement that outperforms redis.

As for identity, you sound really silly when you consider it is literally built-in to ASP .NET itself, and can be expanded upon to your hearts desire, plus there's no shortage of available identity management libraries in C#.
As for source code repository, I'm not sure what you mean, but for years Microsoft hosted CodePlex which was essentially GitHub for C# projects. Visual Studio and C# projects are typically hosted o

n Git, I would be shocked if there's no web UI for git in C#, there's definitely plenty of applications for git in .NET
I'm not even going to comment on business intelligence, now you're just being very lazy. You're telling me Microsoft has 0 BI tooling and SDKs? Come on.
As for a linter, you are either trolling, or just blindly hate Microsoft for no rhyme or reason, there's more than enough linters, especially the best one of all, ReSharper, which is integrated into Rider which is a cross-platform IDE. There's also MonoDevelop, SharpDevelop, etc
I literally spent a few weeks ago porting a .NET 3.5 app I hadn't touched in years, to .NET 8 from Ubuntu Linux, and got it running, in under 30 minutes in Project Rider.
Also nearly forgot. Netflix's original web UI was Silverlight, which is C# / .NET back when it was at its peak for its time.

Unity reference source

The above are example of production code. I use these as references all the time
Awesome c# https://github.com/quozd/awesome-dotnet
In Ask HN: Examples of Top C# Code?I'm still learning C#, but I think it is just awesome.
You can build for:
- Linux (x64, arm) - even raspberry works fine
- Windows (x64, arm)
- MacOS (x64, arm)
The only thing I'm missing atm is BSD, although it might work with Mono, it is not officially targeted. More: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/rid-catalog
Some libraries / frameworks I came across that are definetely worth checking out:

Community-run blacklists for plugins like uBlock Origin are comprehensive and well-maintained
I think that blacklists are opposite to search in a sense. Naive search is an easy target for those who try to game its results in an endless arms war. Ads and annoyance listings are not, because those who want to game it would a) delete the specific rules and get catched by feedback, b) add rules to downplay the opponents and also get reported. In a search, there is hard to say who played low, because everyone will do that.
I think “we” should resurrect directories instead of a search, which already presented itself as nonsense in a long run for too many times.
A directory is a categorized collection of links with a meaningful description (opposed to in-site bs marketing claims which these sites have to do no matter what) and few curated comment

s. E.g. awesome lists out there:
https://github.com/vinta/awesome-python
https://github.com/quozd/awesome-dotnet
https://github.com/avelino/awesome-go
https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted
… think awesome cars, awesome appliances, awesome socks, awesome instruments, awesome food etc. Every area has some interned knowledge which waits for a platform to post it on. There will be ads push force just like with search, but at least it would be controlled by community, not by faceless moremoney entity. The difference with search is that search is automated and thus is much more vulnerable to ranking tricks. You can then run very naive search over this curated data and get good results.
Also it would shift trust from sites (which you want to find out to trust or not in the first place) to people who pull-request links into a directory. You never know which of SERP results made by whom. In a directory, you can see who posted what and what their rating or age of participation is. This is inevitable because in a modern world trust can only be built with time to a person, and there is no good will except of someone real who got tired of the shit so much that they are ready to go to lengths to explain/advise/help others and get it back eventually (that’s the core of the foss idea). No corp can align with what we want anymore, because their competition is always better at money, and at SERP. There is simply no other way, in my view.

In A collection of awesome .NET core libraries, tools, frameworks and softwareThis is a great list for project discovery, but obviously there is a lot of choice here. My ASP.NET Core Library and Framework Support list is also on this list - how meta. :)

In Ask HN: Learning resources for a noob?I did not know about this until I looked at the awsome-dotnet list[1] .This project is based on Microsoft research[2] and is heavily used internally and externally at Microsoft (Halo and Skype project). I think the Microsoft Azure Service Fabric is cloud version of the orleans might be originated from this framework(I may be wrong).I have done some sample applications and i think this is a good alternative to AKKA.NET
