This post is my annual contribution to the 2021 C# Advent Calendar. .NET 6 has officially arrived and there are a lot of good stuff, including C# 10, performance improvements, Hot Reload, and Minimal APIs. But what about the features and improvements that dont knock both your socks off but also help to make your daily development experience more productive? A lot of these quality of life features in .NET 6 can help by removing boilerplate and pain and can help you get to the point: shipping quality software. In this post, we have a little fun and talk about some nice, lesser hyped .NET 6 features that might make you happy. Topics include using the new LINQ Chunk API to chunk large collections, using the DateOnly struct for working with dates, and more.
