Summary
The documentation page for Durable Functions provides parity across major programming languages (C#, JavaScript, Python, PowerShell, Java) and does not show strong Windows bias in code examples or patterns. However, there is a subtle bias in tooling recommendations: Visual Studio (Windows-only) is mentioned first for C# quickstarts and templates, while Visual Studio Code (cross-platform) is used for other languages. PowerShell, a Windows-centric language, is included, but Linux equivalents (such as Bash) are not present. There is no explicit mention of Linux-specific development environments or CLI workflows.
Recommendations
- List Visual Studio Code (cross-platform) before Visual Studio in quickstart and template recommendations for C#.
- Explicitly mention and provide examples for developing and running Durable Functions on Linux, including CLI workflows (Azure Functions Core Tools) and container-based development.
- Add references to Linux-friendly editors (e.g., VS Code, Vim) and environments in the 'Jump right in' and template sections.
- Clarify that PowerShell examples work on Linux (PowerShell Core), or provide Bash equivalents where appropriate.
- Ensure that all tooling and workflow instructions are platform-neutral or provide both Windows and Linux options.
