Immutability: The way to remain unchangedOne of the cornerstones of Functional Programming is the idea of immutability. Although frequently misconstrued, Immutability is simply the concept that once we set a value, that object or variable will not change.

Unleashing the Power of .NET Big Memory and Memory Mapped FilesKey Takeaways Web servers often have far more memory than the .NET GC can efficiently handle under normal circumstances. The performance benefits of a caching server are often lost due to increased network costs. Memory Mapped Files are often the fastest way to populate a cache after a restart.

Today at lunch I was checking out a project called "Brighter." It's actually been around in the .NET space for many years and is in the process of moving to .
