Yet how much perf in recent dot nets comes from that, and how much comes from "Span<T>"ning whole BCL?




There’s much more to it than just Span<T>. Take a look at the performance improvements in .NET 10: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/performance-improvemen.... When it comes to syntax, even something like structs (value types) can be a decisive factor in certain scenarios. C# is fast and with some effort, it can be very fast! Check out the benchmarks here: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

I know that C# is fast, this is my favourite lang, but it is hard to say honestly which one is faster

I love the saying "i dont trust benchmarks that i didn't fake myself"
