When comparing TypeScript and C#, we can see differences in how constructor arguments are handled. In TypeScript, the constructor argument environment can be accessed directly within the class without explicitly creating a field for it:
class Example {
constructor(private Environment environment) {
}
public get Name(): string { return this.environment.Name; }
}
In contrast, C# requires manual creation of the field and assignment of its value from the constructor parameter:
class Example
{
public Example(Environment environment)
{
this.enviornment = enviornment;
}
private Environment environment;
public string Name => this.environment.Name;
}
This leads to the question: why doesn't C# allow for a similar shorthand notation as TypeScript? For instance, why can't C# code look like this?:
class Example
{
public Example(private Environment environment)
{
}
public string Name => this.environment.Name;
}
The absence of such functionality in C# raises the question of why it cannot achieve the same level of simplicity.
