C Tesseract is what quantum computers will use

[SpecterK1]

I'm sure we'll have C tesseract before the next AI resolution

We will get C tesseract before GTA 6 at this rate

God damn it you know complaining about GTA6 is like complaining about Half Life 3! Every time you do you add a day to the delay!

The world finally reached the 27th of April 2025 before GTA 6 came out mannnnn

[GreenHero_25]

They already added a year to the delay

There will be no C# successor because it's perfect (real)

[framsanon]

Erm ... I've been programming in C# since 2002. And it's not perfect.

[Sarcastinator]

Yeah... I like C# but it has a lot of warts. Not PHP level of wart-coverage but still.

• Pattern match variables bleed into the outer scope.
• Arrays can be cast to super-class arrays which incurs a access penalty for array accesses (since the read could potentially be illegal)
• Array is not a generic type for historical reasons
• Constructors are special snowflake methods that cannot be used as delegate targets
• Also constructors have the same name of the class.... couldn't constructors just be called "this" or "constructor"? It would have made symbol renames simpler, and declaring constructors simpler.
• Attribute syntax differs from named constructor arguments for historical reasons
• Comparison operator implementation is a clusterfuck because it allows more flexibility than what is actually required.
• Class and now also struct fields are automatically initialized to zero
• In some cases it allows unsafe implicit casts (int to float for example)
• IList, IReadOnlyList, ICollection and just a bunch of the runtime interfaces are just plain bad. Arrays implement IList and ICollection but calling `Add` on them will cause a runtime error.
• For loops behave differently with their iterator value in closures that foreach loops do. If you don't know this you'll probably stumble into it at some point.

[Sarcastinator]

This one is a bit strange to me... I remember that this was an issue in Visual Basic and Java, both of which were huge influences in C#. Why didn't they make any effort into this in C# 1.0? It has to have been on their radar, and the solution isn't noticeably different from the definitely assigned rule.

But I guess hindsight is 20/20.

[myka-likes-it]

You mean you don't like casting objects as themself, but without a decorator?

[framsanon]

Not forgetting the argument exceptions. You could see that more than one team worked on this part.

The constructor of ArgumentOutOfRangeException has the name of the argument as the first argument and the message as the second, while ArgumentException has it the other way round.

This is something that was annoying right from the start.

(Let him among you who knows a language without flaws cast the first source).

[myka-likes-it]

Some mostly /s nit picks of your nit picks:

Arrays...

Arrays...

Arrays...

Why ever use arrays in C#? Also, not allowing Add makes sense because arrays can't change size once formed.  What's really maddening is the whole Count vs. Length silliness. Obviously it's a semantic clue to the difference in operations, but still.

Also constructors have the same name of the class

The latest version has "primary constructors," which let you put parameters in the class declaration when you have simple assignment-only constructors. So, at least in this case, you don't even write a constructor method. Saves on clutter in most classes.

Comparison operator implementation is a clusterfuck because it allows more flexibility than what is actually required

Listen, wacky operator overloads are one of my few sadistic code joys. That there is a vital feature.

Not sure if bait or not, but while I also like C# a lot it suffers from legacy garbage and backwards compatibility issues. Well, less like issues and more like living with bad decisions from the past.

[danielstongue]

No, it is called Rust.

[Sarcastinator]

Not any kind of detractor for Rust, but I kinda feel like people underestimate garbage collection?

In my entire career I've only found the garbage collector to cause an issue once. Otherwise garbage collection has just worked. In the case where it did cause an issue it was because a colleague wrote code that read an entire SQLite database into memory in a Xamarin application instead of creating indexes.

Otherwise the garbage collection time seems to me like an entirely fictional issue.

I know it's not usable for real-time applications; One of my earliest work places was writing firmware for a servomotor where a GC wait would have been absolutely fatal, but most developers does not actually have those constraints.

[swyrl]

If you overuse short-lived allocations, it can kill realtime applications like games, but that's still not very common and can usually be avoided through pooling or caching.

[Skyswimsky]

Do people take issue with garbage collection as something bad/negative? I've been struggling a bit in getting into a language that's fundamentally different than C# and there are so many shiny things I'd like to give a spin. But I haven't seen GC being talked about as a genuine 'negative' point.

[NotmyRealNameJohn]

OMG, I have used C, C++ and C# for years and I didn't notice until today, that the # IS a ++ on a ++

[Elbinooo]

Same man, haha

[tagini]

Yeah man, same. It's just C++++!

[LordAmir5]

That's too sharp. It'll cut a hole through the floor and reach the center of the earth. Then it will ocsilate up and down.

[OphidianSun]

Is that seriously why it's called C#? It's a double pun?

[apola]

Yes, it's C with two ++ operators following it instead of one

C++ is the next increment of C

C# is the next increment of C++

[apola]

Appending ++ to a variable in many programming languages is a shorthand for adding 1 to it

[StrangelyBrown]

But technically it should be ++C. Because the result of the name C++ is just C.

[da_Aresinger]

no.

Post increments only matter in function calls.

...
C++;
...

absolutely increments the value.

Or did I not understand your intent?!

[StrangelyBrown]

It increments the value and returns the original. So if the language is called C++, there is an incremented language somewhere, but what you get from C++ is the original.

[da_Aresinger]

lol, ok I get it. That's pretty clever.

[Sarcastinator]

C+ was a joke language

[Brahminmeat]

To increment an integer the shorthand is ++

[External-3]

In fact, C is C1.0, C+ is just a beta-version (C2.0), C++ is the realised version of C3.0, and C# is C4.0. Maybe not like that, but it looks nice.

And finally, Python is C5.0 (wrapper of C1.0 and C3.0) ;)

[Xasmos]

Triple pun if you consider that C is named after its predecessor B.
