The State of C# - What Have I Missed?
summary
A concise tour of concrete C# changes: the Roslyn compiler is rebuilt in C# and already sees ~82 releases, enabling new syntax additions that run in Visual Studio 2017; live demos show tuples and pattern matching, null‑conditional operators, expression‑bodied members, ref returns and async Main actually compile and produce expected output. The talk lists C# 7.0, 7.1 and proposed 8.0 features, shows how to enable language versions per project, and explains when a feature targets performance (ref/read‑only refs) versus ergonomics (string interpolation).
