Why You Should Take Another Look at C#
summary
C# now runs on Mac, Linux, Android and iOS via Xamarin/Mono/Unity, and server work gets lighter with .NET Core and .NET Standard compatibility. The compiler is rewritten as Roslyn, enabling a Roslyn analyzer model that adds custom diagnostics and fixes with just a few lines of code; OmniSharp exposes that to editors. Language changes include tuples with names and deconstruction, pattern matching in switch and is-expressions, and proposed nullable reference type tracking to cut null reference bugs.
