# Modern C# (C# 14 / .NET 10)

## Core Principles

1. **Use the newest stable features** — C# 14 is the target. Prefer language-level constructs over library workarounds.
2. **Readability over cleverness** — Pattern matching and expression-bodied members improve readability when used appropriately; deeply nested patterns do not.
3. **Value types where possible** — Prefer `record struct`, `Span<T>`, and stack allocation to reduce GC pressure.
4. **Immutability by default** — Use `record`, `readonly`, `init`, and `required` to make illegal states unrepresentable.
