    I was looking at the CSV parser Cursively recently, and I think it is a good simple example of a high performance C# parser and API design.

    Agreed, and agreed. #21 and #22 seek to address this, but these have actually been very low priority for me: as your benchmarks show, if you primarily need a bunch of objects that must be UTF-16 strings, then are other libraries out there that will do the job just fine. The main reason to use Cursively for that would be if you have some use cases where you need the unusual qualities that Cursively offers, but other use cases where you can live with something more traditional, and you don't want to have two different CSV processing libraries.

    I have had the pleasure of contributing to a couple different networked drivers with very talented maintainers that I like to use as references.

    One supports a wide array of Framework versions and has both Sync and Async I/O, as it must to implement the ADO.NET database driver interfaces. Reading the internals really highlight the way that .NET has evolved over the years and what must be done in each target version to maximize performance:

    The other supports .NET 6 only with Async I/O only. This support policy seems to be the way that "modern" .NET development is headed, as .NET 6 will be the floor for LTS .NET (formerly .NET Core) releases in a few months. Async APIs only greatly simplify development, and make it simpler to remain performant when targeting WASM.

    As a library maintainer, one thing I often wonder about is how to indicate .NET version support. One option would be for the major version of the library to track the major version of .NET, so if I were to publish a new library today then start with .NET 6 support and start with version number 6.0.0 instead of 1.0.0. This would limit the library to only making breaking changes when the .NET version changes though.
