> People would like to run their Win32 apps on their smartphone And they did actually. Windows Mobile - the original Windows Mobile, 2000-2012 - had 42% smartphone market share in 2007, a native Win32 API (and .Net Compact Framework for C# and VB.Net too), had WinCE kernel and worked on x86, MIPS, ARM and SuperH CPUs.

I loved WinCE/WinMobile back then, except for RAM as document storage - only WinMobile 2005 or so and later supported Flash-storage as well. Though, it supported yet another Win32API implementation with less functions and you had to recompile your code for the target (another reason was: mobile had ARM based CPUs). All what people like me want is NT kernel, Win classic UI, WinAPI with transparent JIT of x86 exe appli…

Going by the documentation you linked yourself: > In terms of integrating visually with the desktop, we currently ship with a classic Win32 theme. That sticks out like a sore thumb everywhere , including every Win32 release since Windows 2000.

Will C# ever start to increase type inference to make it less verbose? Local functions are ok. But why not lambda syntax+inference? Probably still because of making quoted code have ambiguous syntax. But this ends up adding noise and increases the barrier on deciding when to put code into a tiny function. When using C# I'm constantly noticing how much extra code there is. It's just frustrating, and I don't feel like…

> how much extra code there is. It's just frustrating, and I don't feel like I'm getting a unique benefit in return (unlike, say, in Rust) Actually you are getting a benefit in return (unlike, say, in Rust) - the libraries. Verbose syntax is less complex in regard to writing the code, so more developers write the code. I have no scientific evidence to provide about the fact, but observations speak for themselves. Com…

> But is C# really a language you want if that is important to you. C# is used by hundreds if not thousands of games by ways of Unity and is therefore demonstrably good enough in this scenario. Furthermore, just because a language is not C++ does not mean you shouldn't take every opportunity to give programmers tools to write fast code - at the end of the day I doubt anyone would be interested in a language that is p…

Isn't Unity stuck with C# 2.0 ?

Not quite equivalent, since System.Tuple is immutable. So, at minimum: public class Complex { private readonly double _i; private readonly double _j; public double I {get {return _i;}} public double J {get{return _j;}} public Complex(double i, double j){ _i = i; _j = j; } } But System.Tuple is also IComparable, IStructuralComparable, IStructuralEquatable. I haven't had enough coffee yet to add all the boilerplate for…

Although with c# 6.0 (current release) you can simplify that to: public class Complex { public double I { get; } public double J { get; } public Complex(double i, double j) { I = i; J = j; } }

  public class Complex {
    public double I { get; private set; } 
    public double J { get; private set; }
    public Complex(double i, double j) {
      I = i;
      J = j;
    }
  }
