Deep .NET.
Built in public.
I’m Stepan Minin—a C#/.NET engineer, technical author, and open-source maintainer. I take apart the abstractions .NET teams use every day and show what they cost, where they break, and how to build better ones.

Architecture under pressure
Direct takes on abstractions, library tradeoffs, debugging costs, and the enterprise reality around them.

Start with
the code
Four repositories that capture the range: a language, a type-safe pattern, test infrastructure, and statically typed gRPC mocking.
PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
HydraScript
A TypeScript- and Go-inspired interpreted language in C#, built with DDD,
Clean Architecture, static analysis, and source generators.
TYPE SYSTEMS
Visitor.NET
A type-safe, acyclic, extensible Visitor implementation for .NET—without
dynamic casts and powered by source generators.
TESTING
Serilog.Sinks.XUnit3
An injectable xUnit v3 test-output sink for Serilog, designed for clean test
diagnostics without static setup.
GRPC · PROTOBUF
WireMock.Grpc.Protobuf
Statically typed gRPC mocking for WireMock.Net using generated
Google.Protobuf contracts.
