“Stop Wasting Memory on Strings in C#!” | Code Cop #016 (via Nick Chapsas)
String interning in .NET is where there is a special section of memory where you can put strings; if a string in the app has the exact same value, you can point to the pre-allocated strings. String literals are already interned. It’s very unlikely you’ll need to intern a string (e.g., string.Intern(“Hello world”)). Remember that interning a string comes with a cost.
