Looking at C# 12 Proposals and Beyond

C# has been through a lot of change in the last decade. From open-sourcing the language to a new cross-platform framework to yearly releases instead of 3-year iterations. Meanwhile, new languages, new frameworks, and new paradigms have taken off in the software industry, including the rise in popularity of Node.js, TypeScript, Kotlin, Rust, Go, and Python. Through it all, C# and .NET stayed relevant and popular. In this blog post, we’ll glimpse the day-to-day activity and challenges the C# language design team faces.

The external identity provider (IDP), provides, the app, with an id-token and an access-token
