Can you use static types as generic arguments in C#? (Joke Video)

[@MZZenyl]

Dynamic - The equivalent of telling the compiler to shut up and trust you.

[@rmcgraw7943]

dangerous workaround.

[@LevelUppp]

True. it's a compiler bug that will probably never get patched:
github.com/dotnet/roslyn/blob/master/docs/compilers/CSharp/Static%20Type%20Constraints.md

[@kostasgkoutis8534]

I think this now got fixed

[@berhalak]

I wonder why this doesn't compile either.
using System;

public class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine(1 / 0);
}
}

[@LevelUppp]

Division by a constant that is Zero.
But fear not I have a solution for you:
Console.WriteLine(1 / (dynamic)0);

[@gnul]

@@LevelUppp This even works. But you should wrap it in a method with the [DoesNotReturn] attribute and call it UncancelableDeadlock() xD

[@clantz]

Dynamic... yuck.

[@LevelUppp]

Yep :)

[@rmcgraw7943]

clantz U should use dynamic with the Expando class. Too much fun.

[@clantz]

@@rmcgraw7943 I wouldn't call dynamic typing fun..! I shudder at the mere thought of python and js.

[@rmcgraw7943]

clantz that’s kind of what I was getting at. Fun as in ICK!
