This is super duper extra important.

C# Nullable Reference Types are a compile-time thing, not a runtime thing. "string?" and "string" are both just "string" at runtime.

This means:

  • Always guard against your users passing null even for types that shouldn't allow it, because it's not a runtime guarantee.

  • You can't create overloads that differ only on nullability (i.e., Method(string) vs. Method(string?)) because they're the same type at runtime.

@bradwilson Java has type erasure. C# has nullability erasure (except for value types where the nullability is preserved)

range_marten,
@range_marten@dotnet.social avatar

@bradwilson and you can overload on nullability for int? but not string? I don't find this confusing at all :)

Extension types for FINALLY!

I can create extension properties that feel natural in code.

range_marten,
@range_marten@dotnet.social avatar

@khalidabuhakmeh can I finally extend a type I don't have the source to with an interface implementation.

range_marten,
@range_marten@dotnet.social avatar

@khalidabuhakmeh in this case I could imagine wanting to extend person IComparable to fit in my sorting algorithm. Or perhaps ISerializable to hook on my only serialization schemes. So I would expect that I would say that extend Person with the interface name?

range_marten,
@range_marten@dotnet.social avatar

@khalidabuhakmeh is there also an explicit extension? can you apply type conditions when a extension is valid?

@khalidabuhakmeh if only it was more Scala like...

range_marten,
@range_marten@dotnet.social avatar

@khalidabuhakmeh Scala is excellent but I think it imploded because the community got to interested in talking Functors, Kleisli operators and so on. In addition, not caring about API/ABI backwards compatibility kind of sucks when you have to ship production code. But the language is imho an impressive and visionary design.

range_marten,
@range_marten@dotnet.social avatar

@khalidabuhakmeh with that said I remember a lunch where two staff devs almost got into a fighting match over if Scala rocks or sucks (Go is the answer ofc)

Question for folks. While can do a lot of things, what do you think the quintessential experience/workflow is?

"I sit down at a computer and…”

Always a nice surprise to have your shader selected as shader of the week:

Don't panic folks, but I do now. Give it a try, is pretty nice. Also, there's . 😄

@khalidabuhakmeh @maartenballiauw you are thinking of source gens and type providers.

I’m hosting Chris Simon on a to discuss , , and . Not to be confused with D&D, which is about wizards, dragons, and dungeon masters… wait it's pretty similar.

What’s interesting about scripting is that it's very "forgiving" when exceptions get thrown. You can have errors in your logic or references and it will be like “whatevs" and keep going.

@khalidabuhakmeh I do this

@khalidabuhakmeh I am releasing it under a commercial license. Sure it's pricey but the productivity boost you receive should more than offset it. Also great support!
