.NET

Four more days until dotnet 10 release. Are you excited?

I am. There's always a ton of new things, some quite pleasant and exciting to use. C# extension usually have the biggest impact on me. This time, I'm excited for

• Null-conditional assignment
• Simple lambda parameters with modifiers
• field backed properties

Last week I tried/had to try RC2 and assess release notes for changes because [developing and] debugging Blazor WebAssembly in dotnet 9 is bothersome. I wasn't successful in making the switch, but I found a service worker registration bug fix noted with "should also be applied to dotnet 9 projects" which solved the biggest issue for now (deployed app not updating).

I'm still concerned about the Blazor WebAssembly tech complexity and indirection (we're working on an offline-capable website/PWA), but I'm somewhat hopeful dotnet 10 will improve working with and on it a bit.
