- pjmlp 10mo agoCheck C# 10, Python 3.14, D, Haskell,...
- metaltyphoon 10mo agoI don't consider C# a very large language. Most of what has been added removed boilerplate code. Swift, a much younger language, is way more complicated IMO
- pjmlp 10mo agoSomeone doing maintenance work on C# project might find code going all the way back to C# 1.0. Also improvements to low level programming, being done since C# 7, a few semantic changes, aren't for removing boilerplate code. Then since a language is useless without its standard library, there have beem plenty of changes on how to do P/Invoke, COM interop, development of Web applications, and naturally knowing in what release specific features were introduced.
