For c# just: public int Age{get;set;} no need to declare private variable, get or set methods.

  And you can replace it with a virtual property in the future (changing the underlying implementation) without breaking anything. And user code ends up simpler and more readable too: foo.baz += foo.bar; vs. foo.setBaz( foo.getBaz() + foo.getBar() );

      Of course, setters don't protect you from this either.
