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

• Enums.NET

  1 1,470 0.0 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

  2 1,858 8.0 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.)

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com

• Crow

  0 55 0.0 C#

  C# Rapid Open Widgets (by jpbruyere)

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

• SmartEnum

  3 1,683 8.1 C#

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

• .NET Runtime

  229 11,530 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

  95 9,745 8.6 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

  7 3,250 7.4 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.

• NodaTime

  10 2,413 5.3 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/
