Last week we released version 1.3 of dotnet-script. The latest release introduces support for .NET 6.0 and C# 10 and is available, as usually, through Github releases and on Nuget. You will need to have at least the .NET SDK 6.0.100 installed.

The related language services in OmniSharp (e.g. C# extension for VS Code) have already been updated accordingly a while ago.

Beautiful and compact Web APIs revisited – with C# 10 and .NET 6 Preview 7

Back in 2012, when the Roslyn compiler was still closes source and its early CTP stages, I blogged about using its C# scripting capabilities to wire up an ASP.NET Web API server in just a few lines of code, with minimal ceremony. In 2014 I built an OWIN-based host, on top of the, then already well-stablished, scriptcs C# scripting project, that utilized the experimental IIS “Helios” server to provide a framework for building tiny C# web applications.

In 2017 I blogged about about building lightweight, minimal microservices with the early versions of ASP.NET Core. Last year, as ASP.NET Core and the “mainstream” C# (despite the initial resistance) started adopting some of these C# scripting concepts, I wrote how they have been incorporated into ASP.NET Core in .NET 5.0, along with diving into some further improvements for building these lightweight Web APIs.

It is now time to have a look at the latest set of changes in this space - as .NET 6 Preview 7, the latest one at the time of writing, and, in particular, C# 10, bring a lot of extra exciting things to the table.
