With Serilog’s built-in “output templates”, you can choose the fields and text to include in log output, and use .NET format string-style alignment and width syntax, but that’s about it. Serilog.Expressions is a fairly new library that plugs in to enable everything else. This post collects the plain text formatting questions I’ve fielded over the years, and t...

It defines that both reference and value types exist, that strings are immutable, that single-inheritence is allowed and multiple-inheritence is not, and that generics are a runtime concept. On the other h...
