- C# 14 introduces extension members, building on the existing extension methods feature.
- New syntax allows for static extension methods, instance and static extension properties.
- Extension members can be grouped by receiver type, reducing repetition and improving organization.
- The design prioritizes the experience of developers using extensions over syntax brevity.
- Static extension members and generic extensions with constraints are supported.
- Some existing extension methods cannot be ported to the new syntax due to generic parameter order or constraints.
- The new syntax maintains compatibility with existing extension methods and allows for gradual adoption.
- Feedback on the preview feature is encouraged, with tooling improvements expected before final release.
