Null reference checking by the compiler is enabled by default in new C# projects.
C# doesn’t come with an option monad in its standard library, but its cooler sibling F# does.
You can also easily write your own option monad or use a tiny library that does.
Good idea, then patch the whole standard library and dotmet framework and most popular libraries to use that tiny library
You don't need to use the same one. Just don't expose it publicly in libraries.
This is the stupidest thing I've read all day
Didn't ask
Yeah, 100%. I don't really recognize the complaint that "it isn't in the standard library" as being super valid. If you know what an option monad is and you want to use one, you can certainly create one. Lots of people don't know what it is and won't miss it, especially in this context since the option monad is a functional construct and C# is an objects-first language.
