C# 8 and Beyond - Filip Ekberg

[@alexclark6777]

Most of the new features are terrific; some cause me to wonder why though. Are we really saving anything by removing the need to implement IDisposable and just have a Dispose method? Seems like we're pushing it towards duck-typing and that can bring its own set of woes. Same goes for Deconstruct - is the compiler just looking for a method of that name to map to? Would it not have been better to have an IDeconstructable interface and allow classes to opt in that way?

Record Types unfortunately seems to have been dropped from C# 8.0. Any ideas if it is still planned for C# 8.x minor update, or it will be in C# 9 and beyond?

46:14 "I would vote for the 1st one because they don't have to introduce any new keywords" It still introduces the "not" keyword, haha. Anyway, I think the 1st one is the only good option. If you have && or || with a mix of "is" and "is not" you run into the same problem again with "unless"

You can also release videos that are short and crisp.

50:00 so integers now contain a member integer... Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, MASS HYSTERIA!

Not a fan of deconstruct pattern(presented use cases are literally unreadable, but maybe other nicer ones will pop up), but property pattern seems cool.

Nullable reference types - finally!

[@VoroninPavel]

I hope Record Types will have generated private parameterless constructor and properties with private setters. I want them to work soothly with EF Core.

[@UPSCCSE-ku7ej]

Awesome

[@isrcast01]

Please make presenter smaller and presentation bigger.

[@alexclark6777]

That feature is coming in C# 8.1

In 9, I hope they do a breaking change and remove goto, which is the grandchild of the devil!!!

[@darcyfreakthomas]

You could write a Roslyn analyser to give an error if you try to use a goto.

[@frankhaugen]

@@darcyfreakthomas oh, I have a custom PowerShell script I run on my projects pre-build, that checks line count and words like goto, region etc. (If you're code needs regions, it's time to refactor)

[@darcyfreakthomas]

@@frankhaugen Nice.

The guy just loves to show himself off: Ugh, look at me, I'm in a diving suit, I can dive and swim, wow, I'm so cool! Ugh, I fixed broken link in the github account of C#, wow, AMAZING, I'm soooo in love with myself! And why the fuck would you show the picture in the diving suit, when talking about C#, it's like "Ugh, I'm sorry, don't have any regular photos, so here's the one with diving suit for NO FUCKING REASON!"

[@craigbeaumontable]

Jealous much?

[@loam]

@@craigbeaumontable fuff...

[@totalermist]

That diving suit that was visible for 15s really got to you, eh 😁?

It's gotta suck being so angry about everything
