New features in C# 4.0

Finally, we got to see what’s coming down the C# 4.0 pipe. Mads Torgersen, C# Language PM has published this great paper on the New features in C# 4.0. This paper explains following new features

1. Dynamic lookup [dynamic keyword]
2. Named and optional parameters
3. COM specific interop features
4. Variance
5. Covariance


Yes, it’s too early to start betting on these features as things might evolve / change in the final 4.0 release. It’s definitely worth reading and understanding how C# is evolving and will look in version 4.0 which is planned for 2010 / 11 release
