Moise's Afire: IQF and convergence uncovered
Wesner Moise reads between the lines for us and gets to the root of the probable changes in C#. Including his other recent post on new features we have quite a list to chew on 'til the PDC.
- Dynamic typing (Chis and Don weren't just playing around, as I suspected. Ya gotta watch that Microsoftee "chatter") including:
- tuples
- implicit types
- lambda expressions
- extension methods
- expression trees
- Query support for XML and SQL via IQF
His other post on new features details a lot more that may appear in 3.0 or 4.0 including contracts (Can anyone say Eifel?). Concurrency features are not mentioned however.
But why wait for Orcas? Matt Warren explains C# 4.0 now (tongue in cheek).
