I can't remember the last time they contributed anything significant to the .net standard library. Yes, they added a json serializer. In 2019, was about time. They ported some of those library to .net standard (but only some, even with .net standard 3 there are lots of small refactorings that are required to make my libraries run).
They are adding to the language, which is a mixed blessing, it is helping in some aspects, but also making the syntax even more complicated to a beginer. But the standard libraries are rather stale and would deserve a lot more love.
- resoluteteeth 7y agoIt's possible there will be more after .net 5 is released, but I think the current trend is to keep languages' standard libraries small, anyway, though. If you look at languages like python, the standard library is incredibly crufty, so it might be better if .net just deprecates stuff and people use other packages.
