Dyalog Version 20.0 - Generics in C# and APL - Part 2

Explore the concept of generics in C# and their potential implementation in APL in this 30-minute conference talk from Dyalog '23. Delve into the world of statically typed languages and discover how generics allow for writing flexible functions and classes that work with various types. Learn about the current methods of using generics from APL, including workarounds and C# code integration. Follow along with practical examples, such as a dictionary type and a movie database, to understand the application of generics in real-world scenarios. Examine the innovative generic blob operator and its potential to revolutionize APL programming. Gain insights into creating generics directly from APL, opening up new possibilities for APL developers working with .NET packages and NuGet libraries.
