  • Very thorough write up. Clearly a lot of performance improvements across their stack. As if it wasn't detailed/long enough already, I would have loved to see some application-level benchmarks that gave a hint of the cumulative performance gains we should expect.

  • Always appreciate the continued perf gains. Our existing services just get faster for free, which is a nice win.

  • Outside of the outstanding optimizations .net has made (plus async runtime), what I really enjoyed was the reworked entry section. Stephen reiterated all the concepts from the past Performance Improvement articles to really showcase the layers of optimization techniques and how the can transform.

    I know C#/F# decently well, but is there any reason to actually pull out the ol textbooks and learn wtf the above is saying?

  • Runtime async is certainly an interesting development. Really excited to see how this plays out.

  • For anyone who enjoys Stephen Toub’s deep technical articles like this one as much as I do - he also published another post today on migrating the Copilot coding harness from Node.js to Rust. Another great read.

  • This post was so refreshing to read, because it reminds me of a time of solid engineering & writing in a pre-AI era.

    I’m afraid posts like this might become fleeting.
