Mads Torgersen #BlackLivesStillMatter

I'm the lead designer of the C# language and a Principal Architect at Microsoft. Opinions are my own.

[Klaus Loeffelmann @loeffelmann]

What do @MadsTorgersen & I share
(besides a love for curly braces)?

Turns out, something that is a feature, not a bug.
And it's called ...👉 #ADHD.

In the pilot of #SharpAndUnfiltered, we talk the back and forth to clarity, symptoms, and superpowers.

Published part 2 of my podcast with @MadsTorgersen about C# 11 where he answers listener questions, talks about features he regrets, answers a question from @jonskeet, gets a compliment from @jaredpar, and makes fun of...

@juepiezhongren @dotnet_ge When they're ready! 😉 We're actively working on implementation strategies right now, and looking at scenarios from partner teams. But there are lots of open questions, so this may take a while.

A wonderful listener put together a lovely summary of the episode we put out with @MadsTorgersen

It's a great read.

@ppog_penguin @johnazariah @dsymetweets Well it took over a decade for static virtual members to make it into C#, so if this is a slippery slope, it's either not very slippery or not much of a slope.

@juepiezhongren @dotnet_ge It's that List<T> doesn't support slicing - yet. It's implemented for .NET 8: https://t.co/yVHeP3MPQl

C# 11 with Mads Torgersen (lead designer of C#) and Dustin Campbell (architect for C# tools) https://t.co/iS9rOMRFBS

@JeffHandley @EspenSkaufel If "positional" records with primary constructors work for your scenario, then great!

Required members fill out a gap in the experience for people who prefer to live without constructors but can't "make" folks initialize certain properties on creation.

@sandertenbrinke @bryanjhogan I just like liking... 😉

[Michael Newton @mavnn]

Given that it was @MadsTorgersen talking about his diagnosis publicly that pushed me over the edge to get tested, I kinda wanted to pass that on. Shout out to @danidonovan for comics that raised my suspicions and this video on when it's worth investigating https://t.co/qx4XeGkmy0

[Mads Torgersen #BlackLivesStillMatter @MadsTorgersen]

@mavnn Great post, Michael, it is such a good description of what it feels like when the meds work! I am really happy that they seem to be working for you too. It's been life-changing for me!

[Mads Torgersen #BlackLivesStillMatter @MadsTorgersen]

This blog post says it sooo well! ❤️

[Michael Newton @mavnn]

Apparently it's adhd awareness month, and I recently got diagnosed with #adhd. So have a first new blog post for a while: "ADHD and me".

In which my brain puts on trousers...

I'm interviewing @MadsTorgersen for a podcast about #csharp 11 later this month. If you want me to put any questions to him, reply to this thread or send me a direct message.

[Mads Torgersen #BlackLivesStillMatter @MadsTorgersen]

@unknown6656 When we figure out the right thing to do with unions, we will do it! 😉

There's a range of options (no pun intended) from case classes over more functional style declared DUs to anonymous or even structural union types. Each has its pros and cons. Some may be able to coexist.

@garevaul @blowdart @shanselman @terrajobst Let's ask @terrajobst and @tannergooding.
