Great news... based on benchmark tests from my code performance book, when it comes to sorting collections, overall, .NET 5 is 35% faster than .NET Core! So important for apps. 

In this post, we introduced the idea that not all performance optimisations need to be complex to implement. In this example, we optimised the ToUrl method of the NEST library by conditionally avoiding executing code we know would cause allocations.

Know when to worry about it, and what to do if you need to worry about it 

.NET has always had float and double and with .NET 5 Preview 7, we’ve added a new Half type (equivalent to binary16)! 

This is an initial release of a partial implementation of the .NET platform on top of the Java Virtual Machine, and compatible with Android runtime. The Bluebonnet bytecode compiler translates .NET CIL into Java bytecode in Java classes, and additional run-time support is provided by the Baselib library.
