They require 2.0, which is the only version that is actually useful, since it supports .NET Framework 4.x.v
- Ygg2 2y agoYou do realize netstandard 2.0 is 7 years old right? That it misses a ton of functionality compared to current dotnet. Stuff like MaybeNull annotation .
- Kwpolska 2y agoIt misses a ton of functionality compared to the current .NET (Core), but it does not miss much compared to .NET Framework 4.8. The reason why source generators require it is because they may be run by Visual Studio, which is built on top of the classic .NET Framework. .NET Standard 2.0 is a good trade-off IMO if you need to support both the classic Framework and the modern .NET.
- Ygg2 2y agoIt missed ton of functionality compared to C# in 2022 (when I last used it). It's about as old as Java 8.
- neonsunset 2y agoIf setting <LangVersion> to 12 and maybe doing `dotnet add package PolySharp` was too challenging then the source generators API is probably not for you. It's not a language issue :)
