Over the last year we've shown you various features that were being considered for C# 7. With the preview of Visual Studio 15, Microsoft has decided to demonstrate the features to make it into the final release of C# 7. I hope "On Error Resume Next" made the cut

Some of those features look quite cool. Especially the tuple stuff.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

I suspect that'll be the one I use most too; but the pattern matching switches look nice too.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The pattern matching looks good, but it looks like they're not requiring exhaustiveness (which functional languages tend to do). That can lead to a whole load of issues - failure to detect breaking changes to the struct/class being matched being the worst.

I'm not familiar with pattern matching in functional languages. Could you give a simple example of how being non-exhaustive could cause it to blow up? And is it something that would or wouldn't be an issue with current if/else chain constructs?
Edit: Does the current VB implementation have the same problem?

"On Error Resume Next" is the basic principle of WPF: any Binding error gets swallowed. Since C#3.5.

Two months ago, astronomers picked up and then pinpointed a location of a weird burst of radio waves from space, prompting heated debate about just what was sending them. Now, new data has finally revealed that source. "A hundred billion castaways looking for a home"

"A supermassive black-hole", IOW "Uranus"?

Quote: This is the source of those mysterious radio bursts from space
Except that even the elephanting article eventually says that its not. The fast radio bursts are all single events; what they've done is to find one object that they initially thought was an FRB but which turned out to be a recurring source and figured out what it was. We still don't know what any of the other FRBs are from.

NoScript, Firebug, and other popular Firefox add-on extensions are opening millions of end users to a new type of attack that can surreptitiously execute malicious code and steal sensitive data, a team of researchers reported.

I wish some parts were broken out in more detail. eg desktop dev was split ~50/50 between WinForms and WPF with UWP a small sliver of the total. UWP is w10 only, so that's not too surprising, most of us can't abandon legacy OS support until virtually all our users have upgrade; but I'd be really curious to see what the WinForm/WPF split is for new applications vs legacy maintenance. The former's been my bread and butter for most of the last decade; but if I had to start a new app now I'd almost certainly use WPF (and if possible try to isolate the top of the GUI enough that UWP would be an easy future upgrade or parallel fork.)

Despite the name, Perl 6 is not the successor to Perl 5. They’re “sister” languages in the way that C# is a sister language to Java. Everyone involved dies a horrible, bloody death?

Mountain View is home to WhatsApp, an online messaging service now owned by tech giant Facebook, that has grown into one of the world’s most important applications. More than a billion people trade messages, make phone calls, send photos, and swap videos using the service. This means that only Facebook itself runs a larger self-contained communications network. And today, the enigmatic founders of WhatsApp, Brian Acton and Jan Koum, together with a high-minded coder and cryptographer who goes by the pseudonym Moxie Marlinspike, revealed that the company has added end-to-end encryption to every form of communication on its service.
Winning!

The White House and the federal government will begin to make a major commitment to open-source software this summer. While the government has long used open-source software and tools, a new proposal out of the White House last weekend suggests that governmentally written or commissioned software should be released under free and open-source licenses. The government and software is like water and oil.

If they only knew what they we're saying.
