MoreLINQ VS .NET Runtime

You can grab MoreLinq off of Nuget for pre-.NET6 and it has a DistinctBy implementation that you might be able to use: https://github.com/morelinq/MoreLINQ

Install "morelinq" 3.3.2 from Nuget: https://www.nuget.org/packages/morelinq You know you got the right one if it has about 37.2 million downloads.

If you don't already know about it, I highly recommend checking out the MoreLINQ open source project which adds a bunch of these less common but still occasionally useful extensions to LINQ. They also include an Index method which does exactly what your WithIndex method does, yielding out KeyValuePair entries for each iteration.

yield return is a significant core piece of the framework. It's the basis of which most deferred execution and LINQ is built upon and any extension one would want to add to LINQ. (for example)

For a time, I'd say the Query Syntax was comparatively as popular as the Method Syntax. But over the years as LINQ became ubiquitous for working with non-database queries (LINQ-to-Objects) and more users extended them (for example, MoreLinq) the Method Syntax became more popular. I'd say nowadays the Query Syntax is relatively rare to see and perhaps mostly limited to direct database queries or these scenarios like "join" that are easier.

I suggest morelinq https://github.com/morelinq/MoreLINQ

If you don't already know about it, take a gander at the MoreLINQ extensions. I don't think it solves this particular problem, but it's a great example of extending LINQ.

It's part of the MoreLinq library. The Window() function code is here.

These can also be passed as arguments to `dotnet publish` if necessary.

Yes, that is true. I'm not sure about JVM implementation details but the reason the comment says "virtual and interface" calls is to outline the difference. Virtual calls in .NET are sufficiently close[0] to virtual calls in C++. Interface calls, however, are coded differently[1].

Also you are correct - virtual calls are not terribly expensive, but they encroach on ever limited* CPU resources like indirect jump and load predictors and, as noted in parent comments, block inlining, which is highly undesirable for small and frequently called methods, particularly when they are in a loop.

* through great effort of our industry to take back whatever performance wins each generation brings with even more abstractions that fail to improve our productivity

If you care about portable SIMD and performance, you may want to save yourself trouble and skip to C# instead, it also has an extensive guide to using it: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/69110bfdcf5590db1d32c...

CoreLib and many new libraries are using it heavily to match performance of manually intensified C++ code.

We might not be that far away already. There is this issue[1] on Github, where Microsoft and the community discuss some significant changes.

There is still a lot of questions unanswered, but initial tests look promising.

Ref: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/94620

https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet exists for source build that stitches together SDK, Roslyn, runtime and other dependencies. A lot of them can be built and used individually, which is what contributors usually do. For example, you can clone and build https://github.com/dotnet/runtime and use the produced artifacts to execute .NET assemblies or build .NET binaries.

Yeah, it kind of is. There are quite a few of experiments that are conducted to see if they show promise in the prototype form and then are taken further for proper integration if they do.

Unfortunately, object stack allocation was not one of them even though DOTNET_JitObjectStackAllocation configuration knob exists today, enabling it makes zero impact as it almost never kicks in. By the end of the experiment[0], it was concluded that before investing effort in this kind of feature becomes profitable given how a lot of C# code is written, there are many other lower hanging fruits.

To contrast this, in continuation to green threads experiment, a runtime handled tasks experiment[1] which moves async state machine handling from IL emitted by Roslyn to special-cased methods and then handling purely in runtime code has been a massive success and is now being worked on to be integrated in one of the future version of .NET (hopefully 10?)
