@DamianEdwards @davidfowl @eehardt That is excellent news. I can remove the Linq2Db dependency (probably) and I'm scheduled to fix the Akka .NET AOT stuff (lots of string-based loading of plugins from configuration)

@Aaronontheweb The .NET SignalR client doesn't support native AOT? We should definitely fix that if true @davidfowl @eehardt

We merged an early C# 15 preview feature into .NET 11 preview 3: unions. Adds union declarations (`union Pet(Cat, Dog, Bird) { ... }`) and union types (attributed with `[Union]`). They can be treated by pattern matching/switch expressions as a closed set for exhaustiveness.

The next version of aspire will support TypeScript based apphosts and without .NET being installed on the machine. We prototyped ~4 different approaches over the last year until we found a path that we liked. Here's a react (with vite) + express app described using. #aspire #typescript

@dxbydt @shanselman If you native AOT your .net app, and want to include other .net libraries, you should reference them as normal. Don’t compile each library into a native .dll and p/invoke into them from the .net app. That would be a waste.

@eehardt @shanselman So does that mean if I have a .Net app and 2 libraries that are all AOT, all 3 of them contain a GC and only one of them gets used?

@eehardt Just watched the ep. of Deep .Net with you and @shanselman on NativeAOT. Your mentioning of compiling a library with AOT and calling it from a C/C++ app got me thinking. How would the memory management work when calling it from an unmanaged app?

@dxbydt @shanselman Which now the question is: what if you load 2 native AOT compiled libraries? You get 2 GCs.

@dxbydt @shanselman It works the same way it does with a “normal” application. The garbage collector is still in the native AOT library, so when your library allocates, the GC tracks the allocations and performs cleanups as necessary in the background.

Need a handy guide to walk you through adding #Aspire to a Python RAG app? 🗺️ How about this one by @eehardt: prgress.co/45f1i1G

This project was a lot of fun. I got to learn a lot about how to create RAG applications along the way.

@davidfowl @willysaef Python?!?

@willysaef My first Python app

I built a thing: tallyai.money I wanted a fully offline way to track spending. Mint was fine, but categorizing transactions was always the worst part. There are really two problems: 1. Getting transaction data (hard) 2. Categorizing it the way you actually think about money (medium) LLMs finally make the second problem tractable. I could use the them to facilitate the manual steps I had been doing before, it just needed a way to represent the rules that I cared about. This is built for agents, not humans. It’s meant to live inside an agent loop and grind through transaction categories. Give it a shot if the problem speaks to you! This is a fully vibe coded christmas project 😅.

But wait… one more thing! Happy holidays - here’s another Aspire release 🎁 Blog: devblogs.microsoft.com/aspire/aspire-… Full What’s New: aspire.dev/whats-new/aspi…

🎁 Aspire 13.1 just dropped… and it quietly fixes a lot of the stuff that annoyed you. • Real HTTPS in local dev • Built-in AI agent support • Dashboard finally shows what you need devblogs.microsoft.com/aspire/aspire-… #aspire #dotnet #devtools

🐍 Python is first class in Aspire✈️ Supports FastAPI, Starlette, Quart, manage packages with uv/pip, debug in VS Code, easily add service connections and deploy! Dive in: devblogs.microsoft.com/aspire/python-… #Aspire #Python #dotnet #FastAPI #DevTools #CloudNative

@ibuildthecloud @davidfowl @aspiredotdev We made that first class too! We will be blogging about that as well.

@davidfowl @eehardt @aspiredotdev Don't be fooled, the only thing that matters is JavaScript.

@davidpine7 @aspiredotdev Congratulations, David! Congratulations @aspiredotdev for getting a great addition to the team.

🤓 What an unreal moment — officially joining the @aspiredotdev core team. I'm ridiculously excited and genuinely humbled to be here. Let's go!🔥

@davidfowl Weren’t we in a 3 hour meeting today talking about doing work?

Some people are talking about doing work and some people are doing work. Which one are you?
