Alexandre Mutel<p>Thinking about it, I'm even more tempted to prototype a C# source generator that would create SPIR-V (compute shader) code directly from C#. There are some challenges with supporting generics but it seems doable thanks to the nice extension mechanism in SPIR-V</p><p>C# code would be easier to support than IL, as it maps more naturally to SPIR-V CFG.</p><p>More generally expressing Tensor/ML workloads straight from C# would be so cool 😎 </p><p>Ok, I think I have found my next pet project for April 😅</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dotnet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dotnet</span></a></p>

Rocky Lhotka 🤘🖖<p>At this point I've spent around 4 hours having the AI build the app.</p><p>I previously built this app myself, using <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/blazor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blazor</span></a> server.

I want to formalise my understanding of more advanced language and framework concepts, but I typically don't get much from tutorial/guided project based books. Instead, I benefit more from reference books and letting my brain put the concepts together into imaginary scenarios.</p><p>With that in mind, is "C# 12 In a Nutshell" (Joe Albahari) about as close as I am going to get to the C#/.Net equivalent of "The C++ Programming Language" (Bjarne Stroustrup)?</p>
JSON Alexander<p>So, for anyone not in dotnetland, MediatR is a library which is commonly implementing a design pattern known as CQRS, one of the many completely pointless "design pattern for the sake of design patterns" found within OOP and which I have been trying dearly to make people stop using. </p><p>2 months ago its lead developer posted in a comment to a reddit thread 'You can print it on a shirt “I will never commercialize MediatR”.
