I decided to make a grammar library in C#, for inflecting nouns, adjectives, pronouns and verbs. I thought I'd finish the project in a week or two, but the Russian language turned out to be so much more complicated than I ever imagined, even though it's my first language.

Traditionally, as you would learn from the textbooks, there are "only 3 declensions". But the thing is, that's the optimal number of declensions for humans to learn. As you dig deeper, and eliminate the "human intuition" factor, you end up with... approx. 4 558 657 distinct declensions. But, unfortunately, even that amount doesn't cover all the words...

I checked the source code of some SemVer C# libraries, and found out that all of them allocate memory excessively, use LINQ and even Regexes, and that's practically a crime!

And so, as someone who only at one single point in their life ever needed a SemVer library, I decided to develop my own solution, — Chasm.SemanticVersioning, that doesn't allocate that much unnecessary memory!
