.NET Runtime Lab

This repo is for experimentation and exploring new ideas that may or may not make it into the main dotnet/runtime repo. Encouraging .NET Runtime Experiments describes reasons that motivated creating this repository.

Active Experimental Projects

Currently, this repo contains the following experimental projects:

  • Utf8String - A new UTF-8 String data type in the runtime.
  • FreeBSD - Port of .NET runtime to FreeBSD
  • NativeAOT-LLVM - LLVM generation for Native AOT compilation (including Web Assembly)
  • NativeAOT-Mint - Mono interpreter ported to Native AOT for dynamic execution support
  • ManagedQuic - Fully managed implementation of QUIC protocol
  • LLHTTP - a set of flexible, lower-level HTTP APIs.
  • CompatibilityPackages - a set of packages which help satisfy binary dependencies of .NETFramework assemblies on .NET.
  • Hot-Cold Splitting - Support the hot-cold splitting optimization in crossgen2.
  • ManagedZLib - Fully managed implementation of DEFLATE algorithm and GZip/ZLib envelope formats.
  • Async - Move support for async state machine generation from the C# compiler to the runtime.
  • SwiftBindings - Swift bindings for .NET.
