Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation focuses exclusively on .NET (C#) and other language SDKs for Durable Functions, but does not show any explicit Windows-only tools or PowerShell commands. However, it demonstrates a 'windows_first' bias by presenting .NET/C# examples and explanations first and in the most detail, with other languages (JavaScript, Python, Java) covered only in brief, and with no mention of Linux-specific considerations or parity. There are no Linux-specific examples, tools, or notes, and the documentation assumes the reader is using .NET, which is historically Windows-centric.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit Linux and cross-platform notes, especially regarding any differences in serialization libraries or behaviors on Linux vs. Windows.
- Provide parity in code samples: for every .NET example, include equivalent JavaScript, Python, and Java code samples, and ensure these are as detailed as the .NET examples.
- Include a section or callout about platform compatibility, clarifying that Durable Functions and its serialization features are fully supported on Linux-hosted Azure Functions and not just Windows.
- If there are any OS-specific behaviors (e.g., file system paths, environment variables, or dependency installation), document these for both Windows and Linux.
- Consider reordering sections or using tabs to present all language examples equally, rather than leading with .NET/C#.
