The future of C#
In this deep-dive session, we'll have a look at what's in store for C# 12.0 and beyond. First, we'll explore the features that are currently available in Preview builds, including primary constructors, default lambda parameters, better type aliases, inline arrays, and interceptors. Next, we'll have a peek at features that are currently under active design and development, including collection literals, semi-automatic properties, params Span<T>, and a new way to extend existing types using a feature called "extensions" (previously known as "roles" or "shapes").
