Designing and implementing ref fields
Liljeholmssalen, Wednesday 12:50 - 13:40

What all goes into designing a C# language feature? Why does it take so long for even simple additions to the language to go from idea to reality?

In this session a member of the C# language design team is going to take you on the journey of designing a language feature. We'll explore how ref fields were added to C# 11 and go through the journey from idea to shipping product and all the challenges that it faced along the way.
