Yeah, well - all of you can get off my lawn! I was conceived on the evening of the day when the Western Allies crossed the Rhine, according to my mother. The interesting thing is that my father, an officer in the Royal Corps of Signals working in a bunker deep below London, knew about it a day before the the life forms living above ground...

So, there's that.

We had .NET Core 3.1, then .NET 5 (which was the next version of .NET Core 3.1, skipping "4" so as not to confuse people with .NET 4.x, gee, thanks) and now we have .NET 6, aka .NET Core 6.
enum CoreVersion
{
DotNetCore31,
Net5,
Net6,
WhatsCore,
WhoCares
}
var you = Programmer.Factory();
if (you.AreUsing(".NET") && you.AreUsing("Core"))
{
CoreVersion version = you.WhichDoYouUse();
Console.WriteLine(version);
}
? How's that for a survey question?
One thing that is driving me nuts about .NET 6 is the null checks. Absurdly invasive.
Yes, the whole null check madness can be disabled in the .csproj by setting <Nullable>enable</Nullable> to <Nullable>disable</Nullable>
At least we have that option, otherwise it's:
#pragma warning disable CS8714 // The type cannot be used as type parameter in the generic type or method. Nullability of type argument doesn't match 'notnull' constraint.
#pragma warning disable CS8602 // Dereference of a possibly null reference.
#pragma warning disable CS8600 // Converting null literal or possible null value to non-nullable type.
#pragma warning disable CS8618 // Non-nullable field must contain a non-null value when exiting constructor. Consider declaring as nullable.
And who knows how many other pragmas.

Yeah the whole "reference types are nullable" -> "reference types need to be made explicitly nullable" seems like a "oops, we didn't think of that" backtracking in philosophy. Or may the tech is simply at the point where the tooling can now help offset the inconvenience so it's no longer an inconveniece.
I get what they are trying to achieve, but what I generally end up doing is just making my ref types nullable and then, later, checking whether they are null or not. Back to square 1. The static type checking and the errors if you don't do the null ref check are nice, though.

I dabbled with the nullable types when they were first introduced, but I have no real use for them.
I actively avoid new "features" unless they provide a real benefit. Even Extension Methods are really just a "nice-to-have". Though I find Anonymous Methods to be very useful, particularly for making threads.

I find nullable types really useful when the class is a model of the DB table schema, but otherwise agreed. I do like the idea of string? to properly reflect a column string type that is nullable.

Quote: .NET 6, aka .NET Core 6 I think they ended .NET Core line with .NET 5; bringing it all (Core, Standard, Framework, etc. etc.) together in a single platform.
Personally, I'd like a .NET version that doesn't have a lifespan of 2-3 years only. I stopped caring about .NET versions, to be honest.

They ended the core branding with .NET 5; but .NET 5 is still .net core; not .net framework.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I like .NET6
Null checks are a fine way to prevent some silly error.. granted they might seem annoying occasionally, but you can then use the ! operator like so: string s = null!; , go ahead, try it!

At this point I have no idea which .NET version is which or even which I'm using at any given time.

Well, I'm definitely not doing upgrades - my curiosity is for new personal projects. I've been using .NET Core 3.1 and have been recently poking at .NET 6. So far so good, but again, these are greenfield projects, not upgrades.
