UWP Community Toolkit VS PeachPie

GitHub/WCT/Controls/DataGrid (source code for the control)

Started programming by writing some apps for Windows Phone later UWP during university. A few years ago I started collaborating a lot on GitHub to some Microsoft projects, like the Windows Community Toolkit. There I created a lot of new APIs and libraries, like all the new animation APIs and pipeline brush APIs, etc. I then also proposed adding some general .NET APIs to it, and that's how the MVVM Toolkit was born, along with other libraries which are now moved to the .NET Community Toolkit. Fast forward until about late 2020, and they pinged me saying the new Microsoft Store (which hadn't been announced yet back then) was using several of those new APIs I had written, so we started collaborating more so that I could add more functionality they needed. After that shipped, at some point there was a new opening to which I applied, and here I am in the Microsoft Store team and also leading the .NET Community Toolkit 🙂

For instance, recently Chaochao opened a PR for the Windows Community Toolkit to open source the whole custom animation helpers he developed for the Store, which are used to implement the morphing animations you see when scrolling in a product page. You can see a GIF and the whole code here and in the linked PR.

Specifically I am looking for AsyncRelayCommand.cs. All documentation points to CommunityToolkit repo but I can not find it there. Link to source repo from the Nuget package also points to CommunityToolkit. I am not looking for samples.

The report itself is just markdown that is rendered with the Community Toolkit's MarkdownTextBlock.

That's interesting. It will need some documentation and to finish the renaming at some point, e.g. Span2D is in https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/WindowsCommunityToolkit but as you say doesn't require Windows.

PeachPie may be worth a look. It’s a php to .net compiler.

It’s one of the most popular languages that is used to web apps at enterprise scale. You want useful? https://www.peachpie.io

Honestly it sounds like you’re in for a rough time. But here’s a real answer: https://www.peachpie.io

If you're planning to move more than 1 project toward C#, look into PeachPie, depending on the complexity of the API your project should run out of the box with no issues. This should let you rewrite the hot paths in C# while leaving rest of the system written in PHP(while still running in the .NET eco system).

We had to format the code for this article. You can find this method by following the link.

For IronPython's case there are interested parties, but it's not as large so you don't hear much about them. Same goes for the more niche stuff like peachpie where it's pretty active (dev-wise) but there's not much talk about it as there isn't as much community interest on following the project.

It's been a while since we posted articles on the C# projects check using PVS-Studio... And we still have to make the 2021 Top list of bugs (by the way, 2020 Top 10 bugs, you can find here)! Well, we need to mend our ways. I am excited to show you a review of the PeachPie check results.
