The volatile keyword in C# is used to inform the JIT compiler that the value of the variable should never be cached because it might be changed by the operating system, the hardware, or a concurrently executing thread.  

SharpLab (previously known as TryRoslyn)

SharpLab is a .NET code playground that shows intermediate steps and results of code compilation

Languages

SharpLab supports three source languages:

1. C#
2. Visual Basic
3. F# 

Here is a partial list of the C# coding standards my team uses and advocates. Most of these are industry-wide conventions and thus using them will ensure that your code is easily readable by people who are not you.  

MathSharp is a vector and matrix library written in C# using hardware intrinsics. Thanks to hardware acceleration, MathSharp is significantly faster than most mathematics libraries out there, but only supports .NET Core 3.0 and up. 

What follows is sort of a travel log of what I did and how the new CoreCLR functionality fares compared to writing C++ code, when processor intrinsics are involved. 

   One of the most popular programming language on the market is getting even better. With every iteration of C# we get more and more features that are meant to make our lives as developers a lot easier.

C# is rapidly approaching its third decade of life. Originally released in 2000, the language has grown and changed across 7 major versions. Once a knock off of Java in all but name has jumped out ahead on many aspects. 

After several years of development, MBrace 1.0 was released last week. MBrace is a programming model for scalable cloud data scripting and programming with F# and C#. The project consists mainly of code libraries and cloud providers runtime.
