The new "required" keyword in #csharp 11 and #dotnet 7 are pretty cool.

Force consumers of your object to define values for properties. This helps reduce the need for constructor overloads.

public class Previous
{
public string Name { get; }

public Previous(string name)
{
Name = name;
}
}

public class Updated
{
public required string Name { get; set; }
}

FInally! I wish we got something like convenience inits in Swift, where we can make an optional constructor without much hassle.
