Microsoft CoreCLR taking shape, source code on GitHub

You have surely heard the news: Microsoft made the source code of the CoreCLR available on GitHub in early February.

I've been watching closely the activity of this process of open-sourcing key parts of the .NET platform, and I'm happy to see the project is actively updated on GitHub. There's also plenty of interested in the project outside Microsoft, which is a very good thing.

Perhaps I might even myself try implementing something to the benefit of everyone. My first extension would definitely be a new extension method to the String class: "HasAnyValue". With this method, I would finally get rid of the cumbersome "!string.IsNullOrWhitespace()" call, when I only want to test whether a string has a non-null value or not (but not whitespace).

Go CoreCLR!
