New C# language features

Have you seen the new features that will be available in the upcoming C# 9 release?

C# is taking a lot of input from functional languages which makes it nicer to write and removes boilerplate code. I highly apreciate that as I’m developing in C# for my job, but my heart belongs to functional programming.

Which of these new things do you like most?

I like the progress they made with Pattern Matching and the addition of “data class” Records

Not sure about this as well, with WPF C# is also frontend

Well, I don’t have any usage statistics
Personally, I’m using it more for backend, but it’s multi purpose…
Maybe general C# backend, and frontend things would be more specific (Blazor, WPF, Razor)

Best chairs for developers?

What chair do you have while working… and why? Is there a ‘best’ type of chair or working position for developers?
