I look forward to summer every year. Sun, beach, warm nights, and putting the finishing... developers that contributed significantly to the release, calling out the hundreds upon hundreds of pull requests that were merged to make .NET 8 the fastest .NET to date. The article should follow the style of the post about .NET 7 performance at https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/performance_improvements_in_net_7/. Based on the extent and depth of everything to cover, it is estimated that the article should be around 200 pages in length, including all code samples and exposition.
