to not let you copy a class or pass an int as a ref

There’s a ref keyword to pass references to ints.

I find it hard to follow most of what you’re saying. Can you explain why passing an int var by ref does not satisfy your “pass an int as a ref”?

I love the open and evolving C# ecosystem.

All the AI and cloud fluff/craze being pushed to devs is a bit annoying, but outside of announcements it’s isolated and ignorable [for now]. I kept my enthusiasm during the cloud pushes, which were limited. But now, the AI and copilot pushing is annoying enough that I’m losing it. At least the enthusiasm. I feel like.

Everything else… Goes into the wrong direction and often is already obnoxious. Last time I installed windows for someone I was baffled it was almost impossible to install it with an offline account. Baffling on an operating system. Insane. Awful. Settings is still a mess. Task manager is getting worse. 11 got worse ui.
