What is it about C# that you do NOT like compared to other languages?

• Enums.NET

  4 1,647 3.6 C#

  Enums.NET is a high-performance type-safe .NET enum utility library

If you deal with Enums regularly, Enum.NET is a must have: https://github.com/TylerBrinkley/Enums.NET.

• UnitsNet

  8 2,124 8.6 C#

  Makes life working with units of measurement just a little bit better.

(I occasionally use https://github.com/angularsen/UnitsNet/, but it's not quite the same as doing it at the compiler level.)

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• Crow

  3 59 2.8 C#

  C# Rapid Open Widgets (by jpbruyere)

https://github.com/jpbruyere/Crow try to become an open source portable alternative.

• SmartEnum

  7 2,050 8.2 C#

  A base class for quickly and easily creating strongly typed enum replacements in C#.

• .NET Runtime

  606 14,091 10.0 C#

  .NET is a cross-platform runtime for cloud, mobile, desktop, and IoT apps.

  

Some wrapper methods around Windows API are not orthogonal and introduce unexpected behavior (i.e. the behavior you don't get by directly using underlying API or the OS feature). For example, look no further than Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable which will corrupt PATH variable by incorrectly expanding say %ProgramFiles%\Oracle\VirtualBox into C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\VirtualBox on a 64-bit OS.

• csharplang

  262 10,868 9.6 C#

  The official repo for the design of the C# programming language

  

I really hope “discriminated unions” (or at least a concept like the one in the csharplang repo gets some traction sooner rather than later. Would go a long way towards making enums what I wish they could be.

• Eto.Forms

  17 3,472 8.8 C#

  Cross platform GUI framework for desktop and mobile applications in .NET

  

Would like to give a shout-out to Eto.Forms here as well. A clean WinForms-esque API which seems like it'd be very suitable for quick CRUDdy line-of-business applications. I appreciate that it uses the native widgets of each platform (WPF for Windows, GTK# on Linux, native NS API interop on Mac.) 2.9k stars on GitHub too so it seems like it has some popularity.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• NodaTime

  18 2,664 8.0 C#

  A better date and time API for .NET

  

But damn, I Just looked that up. It really does look like something I'll be showing the team. Really intuitive. https://nodatime.org/
