Probably not as simplistic an article as the title may lead to believe. Useful for all devs to skim over at least.

He missed some big, undocumented keywords like __makeref, __arglist and others.

People who use undocumented keywords in their chode should have their fingers broken with hammers. Present company excepted, of course.

Also, the 'volatile' keyword behaves differently on different architectures and should usually be avoided...

Should have also added the "fixed" keyword.

Ugh. The guy stole the whole fucking article from other sources. Here's his stackalloc paragraph:

Unkicked, and so help me I'd abuse my mod powers and delete this if it wasn't on the front page.

I agree Mcgurk, really no one should be using undocumented keywords. I also agree about the volatile thing; we have a 250k line C# codebase and not a single volatile (or undocumented) keyword usage. :-)

We use yield all the time, however, despite the article mentioning how rarely used that is.
