- pjmlp 2y agoNot really, C# already had generics when .NET 1.0 came out, it was decided they were not mature enough and Microsoft didn't want to delay releasing 1.0, this is the part of story most folks don't get, because they are not language geeks and dont't read about this stuff. Work started in February 1999, while .NET 1.0 was released in October 2021. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/dsyme/netc-generics-history-some-photos-from-feb-1999 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/dsyme/netc-g...
