Introduction Most object pools are like a bowl of communal keys: you reach in, grab whatever is on top, and hope it works for the door you’re standing in front of. Usually that is fine. But what happens when you…
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 the world of C# we have been trained to treat errors as occurring under exceptional circumstances, or exceptions if you will. We throw exceptions like stones, hoping someone further up the in the call chain is waiting with…
Introduction You can build applications in many ways. One way to do this is using actors. In this setup, an actor is the ‘primitive’ of the appliction. Actors have a number of important characteristics namely: Implementation in C# with SharpAndRusty…
Introduction Sometimes, it’s handy to separate when a method is called from when it actually runs. That’s where the Active Object design pattern comes in. It lets us build more flexible and concurrent systems. One key feature is that each…
