Introduction Let’s be honest: handling errors in C# has historically felts a bit like a game of “catch-me-if-you-can” with exceptions and nulls. But as the language evolves, we’re seeing a shift towards more expressive, functional patterns. The Esox.SharpAndRusty library leans…
Introduction Modern C# development often falls into the “Pyramid of Doom” – a series of nested if statements, checking for nulls or success flags which push your actual business logic to the far right of the screen. By using Esox.SharpAndRusty…
Introduction In modern C# development, we often find ourselves lost in “If-Else” chains, nested blocks of null checks and error handling which can obscure the actual business logic. Inspired by Rust and functional programming, the Esox.SharpAndRusty library introduces a way…
Introduction In tradition .NET development, error handling often falls into two camps: throwing heavy exceptions for flow control or returning vague string error messages which lose all context by the time they reach the logger. The Esox.SharpAndRusty library introduces a…
Introduction In Part 1 and Part 2, we established the core principles of using Result<T, E> for type-safe error handling and demonstrated how to compose operations using Map, Bind, and the LINQ query syntax. Modern C# development is dominated by…
Introduction The C# ecosystem has long relied on exceptions for signaling failure. While exceptions are powerful for truly exceptional, unexpected conditions (like a lost network connection or a corrupted file), using them for expected failure modes—such as user input validation…
Introduction: Bye-Bye Exceptions, Hello Type Safety 👋 Welcome to the first part of our series on Esox.SharpAndRusty, a C# library designed to bring the safety and clarity of Rust’s Result<T, E> type to the modern .NET ecosystem. In traditional C#…
