Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

What's new in C# 12: overview
Great improvements.
There is PolySharp project that enables you to use most of C#11 features in legacy .NET Framework: https://github.com/Sergio0694/PolySharp - Seems that C#12 features are planned to be implemented: https://github.com/Sergio0694/PolySharp/issues/78
I'm using PolySharp where I'm stuck with .NET Framework 4.6 and I don't have any issues.
Hope one day I'd see concise syntax for catch and/or try expressions: https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/discussions/2734 - but there is a lot of resistance.

.NET web developer takes a job as a .NET desktop developer
You can go one step further and add https://github.com/Sergio0694/PolySharp to your project and you can use new C# 8+ features that don't require the new runtime (like file scoped namesapces, nullable annotations etc).

[Question] HttpClient does not recover from error
Is there a reason you're trying to reinvent PolySharp?
-
Do you prefer working with Java or C# legacy code?
You can still use C# 11 (with PolySharp), and you can still get a huge amount of new APIs via the various packages on NuGet that target .NET Standard 2.0. Plus you just get the usual .NET type system and BCL, which are still very good even if when using a framework from a few years ago.

Multi-targeted library, with a recent Language Version
Or the PolySharp NuGet package, which uses source generators to polyfill the language features you're actually using.

What's the biggest difference between C# and Java developers?
Well using PolySharp, of course! 😄

How to use C# 11 features in .NET 6 or older versions (even .NET Framework 2.0)
⚠️ Because PolySharp uses source generators, it doesn't work with the package.config file as stated in this issue. The issue says we need to use the SDK style .csproj, but just changing from package.config to Package Reference worked for me.

Playing with C# 12 & .NET 8
Some features like records and range require additional boilerplate classes to be added to become usable. You can DIY that or use PolySharp. Some features like static abstract members, default interface methods, etc require runtime support and can't be used.

Why would you use Windows containers ?
https://github.com/manuelroemer/Nullable (backport nullable attributes so you can use things like [NotNullWhen]). Alternatively, https://github.com/tunnelvisionlabs/ReferenceAssemblyAnnotator/ is even niftier, as it gives you .NET 5's annotations as well. So the compiler tells you whether a Dictionary.TryGetValue result is nullable or not based on annotations that didn't exist in .NET Standard 2.0.

Introducing: EasyCsv Dotnet
If you need the attributes, reference https://github.com/manuelroemer/Nullable or https://github.com/tunnelvisionlabs/ReferenceAssemblyAnnotator. The latter is bigger, but retroactively adds nullability annotations to runtime references (such as Dictionary.TryGetValue).

EDIT: A reader reached me about this cool package that partially solves this problem by injecting nullable reference type annotations in CLR's methods of some assemblies (check the docs for more details): ReferenceAssemblyAnnotator.
This helps: https://github.com/tunnelvisionlabs/ReferenceAssemblyAnnotator

The MVVM Pattern revisited with the MVVM Community Toolkit 8.0
Can't use 6.0 on that solution because https://github.com/tunnelvisionlabs/ReferenceAssemblyAnnotator/issues/89. But I did try 6.0 on a smaller project, where indeed, the warning seems to only appear if I downgrade to the 5.0.400 SDK. With 6.0.400, I get… a build error instead. With that workaround, it works.

Is there a way to change my C# language version without editing the project file?
