I recently watched Mads Torgersen’s video presentation of C# 9 from Microsoft Build and also read his presentation on the same topic titled Welcome to C# 9.0. It is obvious that the C# team is heavily inspired by functional programming and many of the new features have equivalents in F# (where they have existed for …

As …
I remember last autumn when I was out jogging. I was listening to an episode of a well known podcast on programming and the future of .NET was discussed. The hosts and the guest on the show were discussing the role of .NET Core and I remember that they recommended using Core for green field …
