Native AOT is seeing a lot of use within Microsoft products too. Some bits of the .NET SDK use it, and C# Dev Kit (the C# extension for VS Code) uses it extensively in version 11. It brings a lot of performance to .NET.

That's wonderful, thanks. I've just about finished all of The Fall of Civilisations and am already feeling a sense of loss. I'm sure I'll listen to them again, but am happy to hear recommendations of other great history content.

C# has had top level statements since version 9.0 (Nov 2020), and it's still just a compiler trick that produces a static method behind the scenes. Top level functions work too, but in a similar way.

There are several valuable compiler transformations that happen under the hood in languages like this. Closures as types, iterator/generator functions, async state machines. This is just another example.

I agree with this, and my preference is generally to use a nice library for such things, but understanding the low level protocol and its capabilities helps me conceptualise the interactions more concretely, and understand more of what a given library is doing for me when I use it. In that way, a clear explanation of a protocol has a lot of value for me.

There are browser extensions that block shorts. You can also block all algorithmic suggestions. I uninstalled the YouTube app ages ago and wish I'd done it sooner.
