The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

File this one under Weird.

I just built a new project in .NET Core 6 using the command:
c:\> dotnet new console -o SuperConsole


This produced a basic console app that outputs "Hello, World!"
Then I took a look at Program.cs and noticed that the entirety of the code is:
C#
// See https://aka.ms/new-console-template for more information
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");

No Main Function!?!
Yep, that's right. There is no main function!!
Here's the link that explains it.
C# template changes in .NET 6 - .NET | Microsoft Docs[^]

Here's a bit of explanation from the site:

Explanation at link:
You can look at the code for the new application and imagine that it contains the statements inside the Main method generated by earlier templates. You can add more statements to the program, just like you can add more statements to your Main method in the traditional style. You can even add functions. They're created as local functions nested inside the generated Main method.


I'ma no on that. Functions nested in Main? Hmmm | :|

And it tells you that you can still add in the Main method the old way yourself and use it that way.

Is C# trying to be JavaScript?
