Roundup #24: JSON, .NET Core 3, Framework Reference, Orleans Dashboard

Here are the things that caught my eye this week.  I’d love to hear what you found most interesting this week.  Let me know in the comments or on Twitter. Building a .NET IDE with JetBrains Rider Before we get into the technology and architecture of Rider, we must look at where this IDE came from. As far back as 2004, JetBrains was looking at a stand-alone application for the Visual Studio add-in ReSharper. It was never released, but a fully functional prototype was around at that time.
