Recently I’ve spent some time porting HdrHistogram from Java to .NET, it’s been great to learn a bit more about Java and get a better understanding of some low-level code.

As part of an ongoing attempt to learn more about how a real-life Garbage Collector (GC) works (see part 1) and after being inspired by Julia Evans’ excellent post gzip + poetry = awesome I spent a some time writing a tool to enable a live visualisation of the .NET GC in action.

This series is an attempt to learn more about how a real-life “Garbage Collector” (GC) works internally, i.e., not so much “what it does”, but “how it does it” at a low-level.

Generics in C# are certainly very useful and I find it amazing that we almost didn’t get them: What would the cost of inaction have been? What would the cost of failure have been? No generics in C# 2.0? No LINQ in C# 3.0? No TPL in C# 4.0? No Async in C# 5.0?
