Paket VS .NET Runtime

I'm not sure if it will help in your scenario, but faced with a similar problem (~80 project solution, mixed c#/f#, with varying dependencies), I found success with Paket (https://github.com/fsprojects/Paket)

It is much more prevalent in the f# community (at this point `dotnet restore` is a perfectly fine default until you hit trouble), but isn't limited to just being applied there.

You can find the official docs here: https://fsprojects.github.io/Paket/

Another thing that might be worth considering for you is Paket. This is an alternative to using nuget, directly, and will take a little bit of setting up (follow their instructions), but once you have it, it will make sure that all dependencies and transitive dependencies for all your projects are the same. Not 100% sure if this would solve the issue for you, and it might be tricky if the realApplication has unknown shared dependencies with the other projects, but you can give it a try.

Check out https://fsprojects.github.io/Paket/ and https://fake.build/ and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/get-started/get-started-vscode for playing with F#.

So I am stuck again when I want to create a web app. Don't laugh. Once again, I come from *NIX environment and the way everything is started in WebSharper is quite confusing at first. I tried to go installation documentation but I don't use Visual Studio nor MonoDevelop. Using paket also doesn't solve my problem since they also seem to use Visual Studio or MonoDevelop.

a bit of follow up: this is because the init command you ran defaulted to those frameworks. it could be smarter, or it could default to something more recent. I opened this PR to update this default.

If this would be true, there would be no reason for something like Paket to exist.

I agree with the author about the slow inner loop experience. Recompiling the whole app to see browser changes gets tiring. The .NET team is planning a series of updates to address this in .NET 6. https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/5510

I also dislike the default workflow for dealing with Nuget forks. I switched to Paket for dependency management which makes this much simpler. https://fsprojects.github.io/Paket/

Also, I stumbled on this ticket https://github.com/fsprojects/Paket/issues/3064 which seems to confirm my fear that Paket is limited to importing files from Github, not entire packages, but I'm still hoping.

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?)
