Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Do you guys mock everything in your Unit Tests?
Bogus - For creating fake data Verify - Snapshot testing for .NET MELT - For testing ILogger usage Stryker - Mutation Testing for .NET TestContainers - run docker programmatically in integration tests
-
organizing testing projects
Are you familiar with "snapshot testing" tools such as Verify that store expected output in files. It's still unit testing.
-
Add persisted parameters to CLI applications in .NET
We can use Verify to perform snapshot testing and check for the correct output of the program. In order to make things easier and simplify working with process output capturing and invocation, I used CliWrap.

In EF Core every foreach is a potential runtime error that can't be properly fixed
You will have to write extra code to set up a code base to get it started (there's always a large initial cost in getting things set up, and you'll be writing code that helps get the state of your application setup), but I can assure you that our team paid the initial tax and the only reason our tests change now is because of requirements changes (and maybe sometimes because the testing tools we use like Verify have some breaking changes in behavior when we upgrade). Otherwise, it helps us identify issues in our code, particularly when we do library upgrades or change to a different library. Again, our tests do not change when we completely reimplement anything, just when the external contract changes. We just get to refactor/reimplement and have confidence that the old behavior stays the same. And then you get to hook up a benchmark to your tests and, if your reason for refactoring was performance reasons, you can show that it was effective.

Perfect Replayability
I assume this means you can take something like this, combine it with Snapshot/Approval testing (link to a library I have used), and then you have some quick-to-generate tests that help guard against regressions (even visual ones) by say:

- Discriminated Unions: Essa feature faz falta no CSharp

DevDocs
Certain parts of Microsoft Learn are permissive, for example the .NET BCL documentation is Creative Commons Attribution: https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-api-docs as is ASP.NET Core: https://github.com/dotnet/AspNetCore.Docs (a good hint if documentation is permissively licensed and on GitHub is if there's an edit button at the top.)
The C# language specification is unfortunately a bit fuzzier: https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/discussions/4855
The updated unified C# language specification is CC, but it's still catching up to modern C#: https://github.com/dotnet/csharpstandard

The golden age of Kotlin and its uncertain future
No OP, but for example you still see the C# folks still struggling to add discriminated unions to the language because of complex interactions due to its too many features[1]. Virtual threads are easier to use than async/await is another example.
-
When static types make your code shorter
For example, C# had a research fork called Spec# that had compile-time support for contracts, with keywords such as requires (for arguments) and ensures (for return values), all the way back in 2004. While still being discussed, it doesn't seem to be shipping any time soon.

.NET 8 – .NET Blog
Hi there. I'm the language designer who created the 'Collection Expression' design/specification: https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/issues/5354
You can see the entire history of the proposal there. To answer you specific question, we went with `..` because that's what the language already uses for the complimentary 'pattern matching deconstruction' form for collection patterns.
In other words, you can already say this today:
if (x is [var start, .. var middle, .. var end]) { ... }

What's new in C# 12: overview
You must specify concrete type.
There was a plan to have "natural type" so "var list = [1,2,3]" would be of type "List" but it was postponed to C# 13 (https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/issues/5354#issuecommen...)
-
Robust Design through Value Objects in C#
While C# currently lacks direct support for this kind of functionality, there's a glimmer of hope with an active proposal under discussion that aims to bring this feature to the language. This potential addition promises a future where C# can natively offer similar robust type narrowing.
-
The combined power of F# and C#
Given few people anticipated ValueTuple and C# adding a more direct tuple syntax, I feel like it is only a matter of time before C# adds discriminated unions.
(There are multiple proposals tracking the idea. This seems the most comprehensive and "central": https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/issues/7016)

Should i quit Django and move to asp.net
I always liked list abbreviations in python, but I absolutely love Linq. I believe there is a feature proposal for C# 12, which makes collection initialization better imo.
