Top-level statements are a neat feature of #dotnet, but some implicit returns happen when you add class definitions and functions to the end of the file.
With #JetBrainsRider and #ReSharper, you can have the tooling turn an implicit return into an explicit one, so there’s no confusion about where executing code ends and definitions start. #csharp
@khalidabuhakmeh any info on what the argument for top-level statements is? At first glance, it just seems like a boring feature for lazy people that only serves to make the language more complex. “Syntactic sugar”? That’s a bit of a stretch.
It does - of course - allow C# to have a much shorter Hello World sample, so it doesn’t look too verbose when compared to Python 😅
