C# Language Design Notes for Oct 25, 2017

Warning: These are raw notes, and still need to be cleaned up. Read at your own peril!

#98

34 and 35

34 should bot be concurrent safe, just like the other compound assignment.

Bundle with 8.0, but could push out. Seems to align with nullable reference types

32

Reconcile 32 with 1020

Criteria:

  • Loose ends
  • External expectation

ref as iteration variable

Not currently allowed, should probably have a proposal (Andy)

185 keep in 3 to prioritize

45

Push out to 8.0 for realism, but still prioritize design time

933, 1046, and uninitialized ref local

These should happen together in 7.3

111 Punt to 8.X

1020 946 945 keep

882 pattern-related, goto 8.0

435

Keep in 7.3, see if we can settle design

190

Relatively obvious design, with some gnarly bits (dynamic, conversion)

Usability gap with tuples let's keep it.

189

Let is more important than from. It lets you use out variables

from s in strings
let t = (b: int.TryParse(out var n), n)
where t.b
select t.n

Could be

from s in strings
let (b, i) = (int.TryParse(out var n), n)
where b
select i

There's a bit of design work, especially if we also want the from clause.

We could allow out vars but not the deconstruction, and it would still be useful.

Could save dec for later. It's actually orthogonal.

Action:

Carve out deconstruction, push to 8.X

187

On the brink, but keeping for now; need to be convinced of value

185

Keep pushing on it, got to get the train going on Range

x..y does new Range(x, y) or Range.Create(x, y)

Consider whether it should be a new kind of operator instead.

104

Micro-feature: Just allow System.Enum as a constraint Mini-feature: allow enum as a constraint, translate to System.Enum, struct

Keep this in, but it is very cuttable.

98

It's a zero-conceptual-overhead feature.

Original designers left in space between meanings for a purpose. But that's not so compelling to us anymore.

Because it touches overload resolution, it might be better aligned with a .0 release. But we're not compelled by that.

Let's keep it, but again, it's cuttable.
