It would be nice if one could write in C# (and maybe in other .NET languages too):
s = s.SomeMethodOfS(…)…
as
s .= SomeMethodOfS(…)…
that is to have a .= operator, similar to += and other shorthand experession operators
see screenshot for an example usecase from the opensource project FoscamController at the URL mentioned above
Ideally, usage of such operators should lead to compiling – whether is is via JIT (Just in Time) or AOT (Ahead of Time) compilation – into more optimized native code, but I’m not sure if C# compilers are exploting that optimization opportunity.
