Summary

Mads Torgersen, the lead designer of C#, joins me to discuss what's new in C# 14.

Details

Who he is, what he does. His PhD. High and low level work. The language and the compiler. How the compiler enforces the language. Extension members - methods, properties, static, operators. Field backed properties. Going for a preview feature to full release; one feature that didn't make it. Null conditional assignment. Partial constructors; cognitive load of the language; optimized for heavy use and the professional developer; simple code vs simple language; the baggage of a C#. User defined compound assignment. Type unions - this year there is a design. dotnet run app.cs, language changes. Reducing boilerplate over the years.
