ModularPipelines V3 lets you write CI pipelines in C# instead of YAML. Run them locally with dotnet run, get compile-time safety, and debug with breakpoints.

How to wire Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers in C# on .NET 10 using microsoft/mcp. Covers tool contracts, input validation, auth, observability, and production-readiness patterns.

C# 13 finally eliminates the hidden array allocation behind params. You can now use params with Span, ReadOnlySpan, List, and other collection types for zero-allocation variadic methods.

A look at the C# discriminated unions proposal: the union keyword, exhaustive pattern matching, and how it could replace OneOf libraries and class hierarchies.

C# 14 allows using ref, out, in, scoped, and ref readonly modifiers on implicitly typed lambda parameters, eliminating the need to explicitly declare parameter types.

C# 14 lets you declare instance constructors and events as partial members, splitting definitions across files for cleaner code generation and separation of concerns.

C# 14 enhances the nameof expression to support unbound generic types like List<> and Dictionary<,>, eliminating the need for placeholder type arguments.

C# 14 adds built-in implicit conversions between Span, ReadOnlySpan, arrays, and strings, enabling cleaner APIs, better type inference, and fewer manual AsSpan() calls.

C# 14 introduces the field contextual keyword for property accessors, letting you add custom logic to auto-properties without declaring a separate backing field.

.NET 9 significantly improves ToArray performance using InlineArray, making it faster and more memory-efficient than ToList. See benchmarks comparing .NET 8 vs .NET 9.
