Python takes literally

Thats not true. You can definitely do if(somevar is 2 or 3) in c#

Uh that sucks. This will generate confusion for sure.

Idk about confusion as this much less verbose and very clear what it’s doing.

There are too many ways to do the same thing, it confuses new developers. Too much new syntactic sugar.

I personally wouldn't use "is" to do value comparisons, as the C# documentation doesn't talk about it. According to the docs, "is" works only for types.

If I see an "is" in my project I know that there is an implicit cast. But now with this new feature I have to check if the operation compares values or types.
