Its officially time for a new .Net LTS Release , and with it comes C# 14, a new iteration with quite a few fancy new features. One such is covered in this video , which shows the use of extension methods. I wanted to share my initial reaction of this video. First of all, this doesn’t read like old school C# anymore. This reads like golang. Take the below example

No post for this week, though I do want to say I’m almost done with phase 3 of my service dependency api (CMDB lite) project! This phase has been mainly about cleanup with osme minor improvements. I’ve very excited about what’s next, namely learning to program an MCP server

I’ve spent several months and two side projects working with Go, so I think its time to revisit this post . Overall I’ve come to really enjoy the language and think about it differently now. The good The concurrency system is extremely good and allows you to do things very quickly. It also allows you to not worry about if something is done, just when its done. I like that so much is built in.

I’ve been watching Learn Go in 3 Hours this week and I’ve decided to make this blog post my observations on the language so far. I’ll compare this in a month or two after I finish this service dependency api project. Initial Observations The language is very strict with its typing, but feels very loosey goosey with its control structures (a for loop without a condition or stop point, really?). It kind of makes sense that you don’t need structures like while, it just feels wrong Channels seem like they hold great promise switch cases in place of if/else blocks is fancy, but it feels like it was taken too far It could be really hard to switch back to something like Python or C# after a while in this language The fact you don’t have to expressly define what implements an interface is weird Overall I think the gif below sums up how I feel.
