The .NET community is generally criticized (and rightfully in many cases) that it lacks innovation, with a lot of developers relying either on Microsoft or porting Java stuff* (Junit - > Nunit, log4j -> log4net, Hibernate -> NHibernate, Spring -> Spring.net - you get the picture...). Amidst all this, it is nice to see, that a lot of .NET original ideas are generated here in Israel**.Few examples that come to mind are
* This is not to say that sometimes, the port is better than the original (NUnit 2.0 is a prime example for that in my opinion)
**Naturally there's also original stuff happening outside of israel :) e.g. Ninject by Nate Kohari or StoryTeller by Jeremy D. Miller
- Rhino Mocks by Ayende Rahien (a.k.a. Oren)
- nServiceBus by Udi Dahan
- Regulator by Roy Osherove
Which can be very useful in performance intensive applications. Cool :)
"This custom CLR host ensures that all memory given out to the CLR is locked into physical memory if possible, thus eliminating paging completely."
