If logic of generic class or method requires checking equality of values having generic type, use EqualityComparer<TType>.Default property: public void Foo<TBar>(TBar arg1, TBar arg2) { var comparer = EqualityComparer<TBar>.Default; if (comparer.Equals(arg1,arg2) {...

In Symfony it's possible to define multiple routes for one action. This can be very helpful if you have functions that do the same but have different parameters. class TestController extends Controller { /** * @Route("/test1/{id}", name="test") * @Route("/...
