When will you be tired of all that planned obsolescence?

This is not how new language features work in C#.

Stop being hypocritical, 'new features' in decades old framework have 99% chances to be malicious planned obsolesence.

I'm not speaking in vague generalities here. New features in C# do not stop you from writing old C#, and they never have.

Here's code that uses the delegate keyword introduced in C# 2.0, twenty years ago. You'll rarely see an explicit delegate in a modern C# codebase, but the C# compiler is still happy for you to use it.
