Declaration expressions feel so odd compared to blocks, though. And local functions require you to move the logic of the operation away from where it's intended to be used. Java...

@DavidArno > And nothing will make them overly long more readily than allowing blocks within them. That sounds like an argument against declaration expressions as well. Parenthesis don't make them...

Is a new accessibility modifier necessary or could the compiler be "relaxed" so that `private` can be applied to top-level types?

> What if you're generating part of a partial type? Ah, I see, so this could also apply to a nested class emitted within the generated portion of a partial...

@vladd Namespaces don't really exist, they're just part of the class name so they can't have their own metadata like accessibility levels. The same namespace can be used freely between...

@vladd Different languages, different problems :) Implicitly treating a `file private` class as within it's own unspeakable namespace might be a way for the compiler to lower the class as...

@vladd I don't think that'd work for nested classes unless C# allowed you to define namespaces within a class.

@acaly Because language team members are interested in this due to the use cases and scenarios that impact their work. Language design is subjective and just because some proposals are...

@leandromoh > I would expect I could define a default implementation for static members That is mentioned under "Default implementations" and I think describes the concept of `virtual static` members.

@CyrusNajmabadi > yes. [IAddable for numeric types] was discussed as part of the design. Is it known if the approach being considered to support this by the runtime would be...
