Loic Baumann's Typhon project targets 1-2 microsecond ACID commits using ref structs, hardware intrinsics, and pinned memory, proving C# can compete at the systems programming level.

C# 14 lets you overload +=, -=, *=, and friends as void instance methods that mutate the receiver in place, cutting allocations for large value holders like BigInteger-style buffers and tensors.

C# strings sent through Dapper default to nvarchar(4000), forcing SQL Server into implicit conversions and full index scans. Here's how to fix it with DbType.AnsiString.
