Akka.NET is an open-source actor model framework written exclusively for Microsoft.NET in C# and compatible with .NET Core. It simplifies the building of scalable, concurrent, high-throughput, and low-latency systems, making life for software developers a bit easier. Zoran Maksimovic's Akka.NET Succinctly will show readers what an actor model is and how to work with actors in Akka.NET, taking them from an actor's lifecycle through to unit testing.

There are two supported choices of runtime for building server-side applications with .NET: .NET Framework and .NET Core. Both share a lot of the same .NET platform components and you can share code across the two. However, there are fundamental differences between the two and your choice will depend on what you want to accomplish. This article provides guidance on when to use each. 

  public List<SoloArtist> GetSolatrArtists()
  {
return DbSet.OfType<SoloArtist>().ToList();
  }

        public MyContext()
        {
            this.Configuration.ProxyCreationEnabled = false;
            this.Configuration.LazyLoadingEnabled = false;
            this.Configuration.AutoDetectChangesEnabled = false;
        }

Here’s what r/javascript had to say:

• React.js with Flux (a view-only library and an eventing module)
• Ember.js (a full MVC framework)
• Knockout.js (view-only library)
• Backbone.js (full MVC framework)
• Meteor (full isomorphic framework)
• Mithril (full MVC framework)
• Ember (full MVC framework)
• ‘No framework; just lots of libraries’
• Vue.js (view-only library)
• Breeze.js (model-only library)
• Ractive (view-only library) 

Microbenchmark testing Python, Numba, Mojo, Dart, C/gcc, Rust, Go, JavaScript, C#, Java, Kotlin, Pascal, Ruby, Haskell performance in Mandelbrot set generation 

Benchmarking several languages/tools with Mandelbrot set generation. 1-to-1 translation of code from one language to another. No SIMD, no multithreading (except prange() trick with Numba), no tricks (e.g. skipping sqrt), a bare minimum of language specific adjustments to make the code nicer while keeping all loops and operations in place.
