Silver is a free implementation of Apple's Swift programming language.

With Silver, you can use Swift to write code directly against the .NET, Java, Android and Cocoa APIs. And you can also share a lot of non-UI code between platforms. 

We’ll focus on the extensibility points of the C# compiler to customize the behavior of async methods and task-like types. As result, we will be able to write linear, concise, and composable code with the possibility to have control over task scheduling. 

de4dot is an open source (GPLv3) .NET deobfuscator and unpacker written in C#. It will try its best to restore a packed and obfuscated assembly to almost the original assembly. Most of the obfuscation can be completely restored (eg. string encryption), but symbol renaming is impossible to restore since the original names aren't (usually) part of the obfuscated assembly.

It is common when working on a web application, comprised of a server-side Web API, running on a framework like ASP.NET or NestJS, and a client-side Single Page Application (SPA), running on a framework like Angular, to refer to the server-side as "the back-end" and to the client-side as "the front-end". I've been a culprit of this until recently.
