C# Version History: Examining the Language Past and Present
-
I still remember my first look at C# in the early 2000s. Microsoft had released the first major version of the language. I recall thinking that it was Java, except that Microsoft made it, called it something else, and put it into Visual Studio.

Nice summary! I'm going to have to brush up on some of those features. Marc

I thought I knew pretty much all the C# language features but I somehow completely missed
using static. That's an awesome feature I'm going to put to use next time I have to deal with extension methods :thumbsup:Looks like that might be a reasonable case for it, ditto for importing enums baked into a class. I'm a bit nervous about the general case with arbitrary methods though; seems ripe to letting stupid messes in and trying to program C# like a procedural language instead of an OO one.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.
