What's the difference between a struct
with ALL readonly
fields, and a readonly struct
, which requires you to explicitly state all fields as readonly
?
This just seems like an extra KW for no reason, if it's not implicitly making things readonly
.
Thanks!
Cheers!

It makes it clearer to other programmers that they shouldn’t try and add mutable fields. It also has the added benefit of allowing better compiler optimisation. I would recommend using a record as opposed to a read only struct in most situations.

Why doesn't it just implicitly make everything
readonly
for me, then?Surely it would be thought through that having a bunch of
readonly
s, or{get;}
s in astruct
that has already been declaredreadonly
is kind of redundant, and (in my opinion) ugly.Huh? But isn't readonly like
final
(from Java)???I think I'm confused.
