Say Sasa! (Think "Big collection of .Net extensions, functions, methods and such")

Today's framework project of the week by Sandro Magi is one one of those kitchen sink, someone solving his real world problems, yet taking the time to clean it up, wrap it up and share his work and experience with you and me framework.

It's got some "standard" features but also some pretty cutting edge and pretty cool ones too.

And besides binaries (GNU or LGPLv2), the source for everything is available too!

Sasa

* IEnumerable extensions
* thread-safe + null-safe events
* numeric extensions
* Option type
* lazy type

Sasa.Binary: -
* low-level bit-twiddling functions
* portable BinaryReader/Writer

Sasa.Collections: Sasa, Sasa.Binary
* purely functional collections, ie. list, dictionary, queue, set, etc.

Sasa.Mime: -
* media types and file extensions

Sasa.Numerics: -
* statistical and numerical functions

Sasa.Net: Sasa, Sasa.Collections
* full MIME message parsing
* POP3 client
* Rfc822 header parsing

Sasa.Contracts: Sasa
* Code Contracts impl.

Sasa.Concurrency: Sasa
* software transactional memory
* Concurrent Revisions fork-join framework

Sasa.Parsing: Sasa
* extensible Pratt parser

Sasa.Dynamics: Sasa
* type-safe reflection

Sasa.Linq: -
* LINQ expression visitors and query providers

...and much more!

To get a real feel for everything that's in this cool collection, check out the doc's, http://higherlogics.net/sasa/docs-v0.9.4/

Source? Yep! (and you can see that it's under active development too

Here's a snap of the binary drop (to highlight the "standalone assemblies" statement):

What kind of Sasa stuff has he written recently?

• Sasa.Strings - General String Extensions
• Sasa.Parsing - type-safe, extensible lexing and parsing framework
• Sasa.Dynamics - type-safe polytypic/reflective programming
• Sasa.Func - Type-Safe Delegate Combinators
• Sasa.Option - Handling Optional Values
• Sasa.Result - Handling Exceptional Values
• Sasa.Numbers - Generic Number Extensions

Hopefully that has wet your appetite a little. Now it's up to you to grab it and start Sasa'ing! (I just like saying, "Sasa..." can you tell?
