.NET 6: A new era for building high-performance modern applications

Microsoft released .NET 6 on November 9, 2021, and also released C# 10 and Visual Studio 2022. .NET 6 has achieved significant performance improvements and is the fastest .NET version at present. It is also a long-term support (LTS) version, which means Microsoft will support .NET 6 for three years.

This article will introduce the new features of .NET 6 and the download method.

New features of .NET 6

.NET 6 is the final stage of the .NET unified plan (starting with .NET 5). .NET 6 unifies the SDK, underlying libraries and runtime, and is suitable for mobile, desktop, IoT and cloud applications. In addition to this unity, the .NET 6 ecosystem also provides:

• Simplified development: Easy to get started. The new language feature in C# 10 reduces the amount of code you need to write. Investing in the web stack and minimal API makes it easy to write smaller, faster microservices quickly.
• Better performance: .NET 6 is the fastest full-stack web framework that reduces compute costs if you run in the cloud.
• Higher productivity: .NET 6 and Visual Studio 2022 offer hot reloading, new Git tools, smart code editing, powerful diagnostic and testing tools, and better team collaboration.
