.NET은 날이 갈수록 파격적이고 진보적인 발전을 이루고 있는데, 그 원천이 어디서 온 것인지 궁금하신 분들이 많이 계셨을겁니다. 바로 dotnet/runtimelab 리포지터리에 그 원천이 모여있는데요, 여러 브랜치로 나누어져서 실험이 진행되고, 그 결과가 Upstream 브랜치에 병합되는 식으로 새로운 기능이 추가되고 있습니다.
그간 여러 실험이 있었고, Native AOT나 JSON 소스 제네레이터 같은 기능들이 성공적으로 졸업하여 현재 .NET 10 LTS에 데뷔한 것들이 많습니다.
아래 프로젝트들 중 여러분께서 기다리고 계시는 프로젝트는 어떤 것이 있고, 무엇이 기대되시는지 궁금합니다.
