Project mention: Classes vs. Structs in .NET. How not to teach about performance | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-04

> AVX instructions, which is implemented for quite a few LINQ methods

Are you sure? Any examples of such methods? And does AVX actually helps?

I don’t think that’s possible because IMO AVX and other SIMD can only help for dense inputs. The C# type is ReadOnlySpan, however ReadOnlySpan doesn’t implement IEnumerable and therefore incompatible with LINQ.

There’s even an alternative LINQ to workaround https://github.com/NetFabric/NetFabric.Hyperlinq but that thing is a third-party library most people aren’t using.

  2 639 8.8 C#

  World's Fastest .NET CSV Parser. Modern, minimal, fast, zero allocation, reading and writing of separated values (`csv`, `tsv` etc.). Cross-platform, trimmable and AOT/NativeAOT compatible.

Project mention: Eli Bendersky: Faster XML Stream Processing in Go | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-07

Pretty sure the C performance would have been trivially matched by C# were it to be ported there.

While not XML (which does not see much love from the community to surprise of HN), gigabytes per second of parsing throughput are reached for CSV without sacrificing UX: https://github.com/nietras/Sep?tab=readme-ov-file#packageass...
