New features for those who haven’t seen them:
// Primary constructors
public class NamedItem(string name)
{
public string Name => name;
}
// Default lambda params
var IncrementBy =
(int source, int increment = 1) =>
source + increment;
Console.WriteLine(IncrementBy(5)); // 6
Console.WriteLine(IncrementBy(5, 2)); // 7
// Type aliases
using Point = (int x, int y);
In my opinion type aliases shouldn’t use
usingkeyword, since it is used by other useful features, but overall those changes are nice.Yes, C# is slowly getting more bloated, like C++, but it’s still a lot better than cpp imo and those changes (especially primary constructors) can remove boilerplate code.
Type aliases already existed, and already used the
usingkeyword. This version essentially just adds a few new options for the bit after the=(to be specific: tuple types, array types, pointer types, or other unsafe types).
