C#, .NET and ASP.NET Core keeps getting faster. Tempted to use the RC2 go-live license on all the things.

When in doubt, just use C# and ASP.NET Core. It's blazing fast. .NET 11 RC2 is even faster. For me, it's the best overall major web framework - auth, config, logging, perf, modular middleware, DI, cross-plat, etc. But I didn't expect this:

Nethermind Client 2.0.0 is out. It changes how the node stores Ethereum's state: archive nodes drop from ~30 TB to ~2 TB, you choose the history you keep, and blocks process 2–3× faster than the previous release on a fresh node. Nine years since the first commit. The fastest

Microsoft recently ported the GitHub Copilot runtime from TypeScript to Rust in roughly 4 months. The entire port was mostly guided by one single engineer and generated a token cost of around $120k. Here are few of my thoughts through my CTO lens. 1. Why Rust and not C#? With
