I wanted to know how close C# could get. A single-reader Channel provides most of the runtime, revealing that the missing feature is language-enforced isolation. https://storck.io/posts/calling-csharp-from-ruby-nativeaot-ffi/ Thu, 12 Feb 2026 17:00:00 +0100 https://storck.io/posts/calling-csharp-from-ruby-nativeaot-ffi/ Some Ruby operations are painfully slow but writing a C extension to fix them is a big commitment. I wanted to explore an alternative: compile C# to a native shared library with NativeAOT and call it from Ruby using FFI. I picked C# because I know it and love its standard library. To see if it holds up I built a benchmark, reimplementing ActiveSupport&rsquo;s String#parameterize in ~20 lines of C# stdlib code. https://storck.io/posts/azure-signalr-service-is-pretty-pretty-good/ Fri, 21 Mar 2025 14:15:00 +0000 https://storck.io/posts/azure-signalr-service-is-pretty-pretty-good/ One of the biggest drawbacks of SignalR is that it&rsquo;s hard to scale. Microsoft provides a solution called Azure SignalR Service that promises to handle it wihout hassle. And guess what? It does! Your application doesn&rsquo;t have to run on Azure and configuration is easy. It&rsquo;s good.. pretty, pretty good! https://storck.io/posts/downloading-sharepoint-documents-from-dotnet/ Thu, 28 Sep 2023 13:05:00 +0200 https://storck.io/posts/downloading-sharepoint-documents-from-dotnet/ Accessing Sharepoint from a .NET application without using Windows is easy. This article will download files from Sharepoint using the <a href="https://pnp.github.io/pnpcore/">PnP.Core</a> package on macOS with .NET 7. https://storck.io/posts/testing-lists-with-xunit-assert-collection/ Thu, 09 Feb 2023 12:30:00 +0200 https://storck.io/posts/testing-lists-with-xunit-assert-collection/ xUnit has become the favorite unit testing tool for many .NET developers. The assertion library documentation however is quite sparse. Let&rsquo;s explore the testing of list collections using a lesser known xUnit assertion, <code>Assert.Collection</code>. https://storck.io/posts/serializing-net-6-dateonly-to-json/ Mon, 11 Jul 2022 10:55:00 +0200 https://storck.io/posts/serializing-net-6-dateonly-to-json/ The DateOnly type that was introduced in .NET 6 is convenient for exchanging strongly typed date information in APIs. Unfortunately, the ever popular JSON format has no standard for date fields. This leads to UnsupportedTypeConverter errors when trying to serialize these fields using System.Text.Json. This article explains how to create a custom JsonConverter to define the serialization format for DateOnly fields and how to show the correct format in generated Swagger documentation. https://storck.io/posts/web-api-in-blazor-net-6/ Sun, 31 Oct 2021 15:13:00 +0200 https://storck.io/posts/web-api-in-blazor-net-6/ The new minimal APIs in .NET 6 make creating low-ceremony microservices and backends very appealing, and they&rsquo;re also a great way to add simple endpoints to Blazor Server applications, complete with Dependency Injection and JSON serialization. https://storck.io/posts/charts-and-graphs-with-blazor-svg/ Fri, 17 Sep 2021 15:15:00 +0200 https://storck.io/posts/charts-and-graphs-with-blazor-svg/ Blazor is so great that I&rsquo;d rather not use anything else. That made me wonder: can I build SVG files using Razor syntax and is that a good idea? The answers are absolutely and definitely! https://storck.io/posts/basecamp-trix-as-a-blazor-component/ Tue, 09 Mar 2021 12:30:00 +0200 https://storck.io/posts/basecamp-trix-as-a-blazor-component/ Trix is a rich text editor that is popular with Ruby on Rails developers. In this post we&rsquo;re going to take Trix out of Rails and use it inside an ASP.NET Blazor application by making a drop in replacement for Blazor&rsquo;s InputText component. https://storck.io/posts/vscode-csharp-change-indentation/ Mon, 04 Jan 2021 13:55:00 +0200 https://storck.io/posts/vscode-csharp-change-indentation/ I always thought indentation was a solved problem, until I needed to adapt to something different. Here&rsquo;s a trick to force correct indentation for your .NET projects by using the Omnisharp language server. https://storck.io/posts/its-time-to-consider-csharp-and-dotnet-5/ Fri, 06 Nov 2020 09:40:00 +0200 https://storck.io/posts/its-time-to-consider-csharp-and-dotnet-5/ People have been sleeping on .NET and they&rsquo;re mising out. With the release of .NET 5 this month, it&rsquo;s time to consider C# .NET for your next project! It&rsquo;s a great general-purpose software framework that&rsquo;s likeable, in high demand, easy to sell to customers, has decent performance, is completely open source, mature and has a large backing. What more could you want? Let me explain to you why I see it as the best alternative for Ruby on Rails and share some resources to get you started.
