This is super duper extra important.

C# Nullable Reference Types are a compile-time thing, not a runtime thing. "string?" and "string" are both just "string" at runtime.

This means:

  • Always guard against your users passing null even for types that shouldn't allow it, because it's not a runtime guarantee.

  • You can't create overloads that differ only on nullability (i.e., Method(string) vs. Method(string?)) because they're the same type at runtime.

#dotnet #csharp #nullable #nrt

@bradwilson Java has type erasure. C# has nullability erasure (except for value types where the nullability is preserved)

range_marten,
@range_marten@dotnet.social avatar

@bradwilson and you can overload on nullability for int? but not string? I don't find this confusing at all :)

Extension types for #csharp FINALLY!

I can create extension properties that feel natural in code.

range_marten,
@range_marten@dotnet.social avatar

@khalidabuhakmeh can I finally extend a type I don't have the source to with an interface implementation.

range_marten,
@range_marten@dotnet.social avatar

@khalidabuhakmeh in this case I could imagine wanting to extend person IComparable to fit in my sorting algorithm. Or perhaps ISerializable to hook on my only serialization schemes. So I would expect that I would say that extend Person with the interface name?

range_marten,
@range_marten@dotnet.social avatar

@khalidabuhakmeh is there also an explicit extension? can you apply type conditions when a extension is valid?

@khalidabuhakmeh if only it was more Scala like...

range_marten,
@range_marten@dotnet.social avatar

@khalidabuhakmeh Scala is excellent but I think it imploded because the community got to interested in talking Functors, Kleisli operators and so on. In addition, not caring about API/ABI backwards compatibility kind of sucks when you have to ship production code. But the language is imho an impressive and visionary design.

range_marten,
@range_marten@dotnet.social avatar

@khalidabuhakmeh with that said I remember a lunch where two staff devs almost got into a fighting match over if Scala rocks or sucks (Go is the answer ofc)

Question for folks. While can do a lot of things, what do you think the quintessential experience/workflow is?

"I sit down at a computer and…”

Always a nice surprise to have your shader selected as shader of the week:

Don't panic folks, but I do now. Give it a try, is pretty nice. Also, there's . 😄

@khalidabuhakmeh @maartenballiauw you are thinking of source gens and type providers.

I’m hosting Chris Simon on a to discuss , , and . Not to be confused with D&D, which is about wizards, dragons, and dungeon masters… wait it's pretty similar.

@khalidabuhakmeh@mastodon.social avatar

What’s interesting about #godotengine scripting is that it's very "forgiving" when exceptions get thrown. You can have errors in your logic or references and it will be like “whatevs" and keep going.

@khalidabuhakmeh I do this

@khalidabuhakmeh I am releasing it under a commercial license. Sure it's pricey but the productivity boost you receive should more than offset it. Also great support!
