Hard facts with great examples! It went a little bit fast in the end, so unfortunetaly the pipe operator never got properly explained.
Informative review of the new upcoming features, thanks!
It was a very interesting presentation, but I got a little bored of all the (many) deprecations being covered at the very start, when the talk was titled "New Features...". We did eventually get to the new features (which are awesome) but by that point we'd covered a dozen or more deprecations, most of which don't apply to my team.
