So far I have not used all of those features in my application yet. But with the glance over the main features of C# 8.0 that really excited me. Not only the syntax sugar that language provide to us, some of syntax indeed offering us more productivity code style and made our code base more readable and clean😁. If you got the chance, I suggested you to give it a try and enjoy the powerful of .Net Core that brought to us.
