serilog-aspnetcore VS .NET Runtime

This article really doesn't provide anything the Serilog documentation doesn't cover. Additionally, the log examples are pretty poor. For instance, there's never a good reason to explicitly throw a NullReferenceException.

Just a simple example I found on web https://github.com/serilog/serilog-aspnetcore/blob/dev/samples/Sample/Program.cs Remove line 21-22 and you have a plain usage of serilog without asp.net

What do you mean by "Microsoft Logger"? If this is Microsoft.Extensions.Logging, then you can just plug in Serilog and continue using standard ILogger interface.

Serilog is a structural logging library for.NET applications that can be used for adding some cool diagnostic features to your application. This library provides a huge collection of new logging related features that are not available in the .NET built-in logging framework. It allows developers to log their messages to hundreds of different destinations including files, the console, on-premises, and cloud-based log servers, databases, and message queues. It also has native support of producing log output in plain text and JSON formats. It supports rich integration with .NET Core including ASP.NET Core. You can read the full list of features available here.

You probably want to use a logging framework to configure where you logs end up. I recommend taking a look at serilog.

Logging is built-in and you get access to structured logs from the ASP.NET Core host itself to your application. With tools like Serilog, you can extend your logging easily and save your logs to file, Azure, Amazon or any other output provider. You can configure verbosity and log levels via configuration (appsettings.json by default), and you can configure log levels by different categories.

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?)
