Design Choices

The overall architecture of the core kernel is consistent across Python and C#, however, the code should follow common paradigms and style of each language.

During the initial development phase, many Python best practices have been ignored in the interest of velocity and feature parity. The project is now going through a refactoring exercise to increase code quality.

To make the Kernel as lightweight as possible, the core pip package should have a minimal set of external dependencies. On the other hand, the SDK should not reinvent mature solutions already available, unless of major concerns.
