.NET 10: a smoother, lighter and more human way to build software

The arrival of .NET 10 isn't just another update; it's the point where you decide whether to stay put or follow everything else that evolves.

There's a question you ask yourself every November when Microsoft releases a new version of .NET.

"Is it really worth migrating?"

And you always end up with the same doubt: changing means taking a risk; staying put means losing ground.

.NET 10 is different, not because it promises miracles or because it has an endless list of features you'll never use.

But this time, Microsoft has made a clear choice: LTS (Long-Term Support) for 3 years, until November 2028.

It means that if you're building something serious, something that needs to last, this is your foundation.

It's not a version to experiment with and abandon after six months; it's the one that will be with you for the next few years, while others are still chasing .NET Framework 4.8 or wondering whether it's worth upgrading from .NET 7.

And here's the point: those starting now with .NET 10 have a years' advantage over those who wait.

In the following sections, you'll discover what this update really means.

Not the usual list of changes you find everywhere, but the real value these bring to those who write code, to those who must deliver projects, to those who struggle every day with the limitations of the tools they use.

We'll see why .NET 10 is faster, more secure, more AI-friendly, and easier to use.

And above all, you'll understand why this is the last chance to not be left behind.

The move from .NET 9 isn't an upgrade: it's a generational leap.

Before going into the details of what .NET 10 brings, we need to understand where we're coming from.

.NET 9 was released in November 2024 and did its job: better performance, faster LINQ, more stable hot reloads.

A good update, but destined to live with only 18 months of support.

It was clear from the start that this wouldn't be the version on which to build the future.

.NET 10, on the other hand, is the version you've been waiting for.

Not just because it's LTS, but because it contains the improvements that .NET 9 tested and are now stable, mature, and ready for production.

And then there are the real innovations: the ones that change the way you work.

If you're coming from .NET Framework 4.8, the leap is even more dramatic.

We're not talking about adding a few features here and there.

We're talking about rewriting the rules of the game: performance that was previously unthinkable, deployment in native containers, integrated AI support, post-quantum security, tooling that seems to read your mind.

Even if you're coming from .NET 7, which is still supported but will "die" in May 2026, you no longer have any excuses.

.NET 10 is what .NET 7 wanted to be: stable, fast, complete.

Here's the thing: every release you delay, every leap you don't make, isn't just a number you leave behind, it's a piece of the future you give away, a lead that slips away, and a silent debt that grows until it becomes impossible to ignore.

Migrating to .NET 10 isn't just a matter of having the latest version, it's a matter of stopping working with the tools of the past while others build with those of the future.

Runtime is 49% faster, and you can feel it right away.

Performance isn't a technical detail to be relegated to the bottom of an article.

It's the first thing you notice when you launch a .NET 10 application, and this time the promise is real.

Microsoft claims it's the fastest version ever released, and benchmarks confirm this with average response times 49% lower than .NET 8.

These aren't micro-optimizations visible only in edge cases, but improvements that directly impact how users experience your application.

The JIT compiler has been revised in its most critical areas, and with .NET 10 this translates into concrete advantages:

• Faster average response times of up to 49 percent compared to previous versions
• Fewer unexpected pauses thanks to more intelligent memory and calculation management
• Significantly faster data serialization
• Optimized loops and iterations, eliminating unnecessary steps and hidden waste
• A real ability to serve more users with fewer servers and fewer resources

The JIT now inlines the right methods at the right time, de-virtualizes calls when it can, and allocates small arrays directly on the stack instead of the heap.

The result is less pressure on the garbage collector, fewer interruptions, and a smoother experience.

Add to this AVX10.2 support for x64 processors.

If you work with numerical calculations, AI, image processing, or simulations, this single feature is worth the upgrade.

It offers massively parallel vector operations, native hardware acceleration, and speed that previously required external libraries or unsafe code.

And if you're thinking, "OK, but I don't use AI," consider that JSON serialization is between twenty and forty percent faster.

Loop optimizations include advanced inversion techniques, and array enumerations now avoid unnecessary virtual calls.

Every part of the runtime has been touched, refined, and cleaned up from inefficiencies, with one clear result: the application consumes less CPU, less memory, and responds faster.

Ultimately, speed isn't a luxury.

It's the price of admission to staying competitive.

If today you're still running your applications as if resources were infinite, it's not just a technical detail, it's a strategic choice that speaks to your professional future.

Every millisecond you leave on the table is an advantage you're giving away to someone else.

If you want to learn how to design .NET applications that truly take advantage of this new speed, reduce cloud costs, and make you a more knowledgeable and in-demand developer, it's time to turn this insight into a concrete step.

In C# Course, I'll show you how to use runtime innovations intelligently, not superficially.

Leave me your details and I'll explain how to bring your codebase to the efficiency it deserves.

NativeAOT is no longer an experiment: it's your secret weapon

Until recently, compiling applications in native code was a fascinating idea, a sort of experiment to try out of curiosity but too fragile to really make it into everyday work.

It was an interesting promise, but it was often shelved because it wasn't yet ready for mature use.

With .NET 10, this situation changes completely, because what seemed incomplete suddenly becomes robust, reliable, and surprisingly simple to use.

Now you can take a console app, a small tool you use every day, or even an isolated script and turn it into something that starts up in a flash and weighs much less than you would have otherwise. imagined.

It's not just a technical improvement to add to the list, but a change in perspective.

It's the moment you realize that even the way you distribute your applications can become more essential, cleaner, and more direct. In practice, this means being able to achieve:

• microservices that start working immediately, without unnecessary waiting
• lightweight containers, without ballast, ready to scale effortlessly
• tools that users install only once, without heavy runtimes or annoying dependencies
• concrete advantage in serverless services, where every fraction of a second counts

Those small delays that used to make you turn up your nose now disappear.

The cold start disappears, leaving only a system that responds immediately, as if it had always been ready.

The amazing part is that you don't have to sacrifice your development experience to get this performance, because you can continue to work fluidly without sacrificing speed.

For the first time, there's no longer a forced choice between speed and workflow serenity.

You get both, without compromise.

It's like finally releasing the brakes on a project you've been trying to get running for years.

Whether you're building microservices, command-line tools, or applications that live at the edge of your infrastructure, NativeAOT in .NET 10 becomes a crucial point of separation.

It's the line that separates a heavy, cumbersome product from one that runs as naturally as you've always imagined.

If you feel like your architecture is heavier than it needs to be, but you keep putting it off, this is exactly the kind of choice that slows you down without you even realizing it.

NativeAOT today is no longer an experiment: it's the way you build lightweight, fast, and immediate software.

In the C# Course, I'll guide you through integrating NativeAOT into your applications without blind guesswork, without risks, and without months of useless testing.

It's a turning point for those who want to write microservices and tools that behave like professional tools.

Leave me your details and I'll show you how to truly lighten your architecture.

C# 14: less code, more clarity, zero compromises

Every time a new version of the language comes out, the same question resurfaces: "Okay, but what really changes in my day?"

You can read pages of new features, but then discover that you'll only use part of them, while the rest just sits there, forgotten like a tool never taken out of the box.

C# 14, however, breaks this pattern because it doesn't try to amaze you with exotic features.

It doesn't ask you to learn tricks you'll only use once every three years, but it puts exactly what you needed in front of you, those improvements you've been waiting for without even being able to define.

It's as if someone observed your days, your frustrations, the points where you slowed down, and decided to take away the burden instead of adding it.

The new implicit field properties allow you to insert a little logic where there was previously only flat code, without dismantling anything or redoing half a class.

It's a simple, calm gesture that doesn't cause anxiety and won't risk breaking what works.

Field-backed properties eliminate that feeling of uncertainty you felt when you wanted to customize an originally automatic property.

Now you can do it without fear, without rewriting everything.

It's amazing how such a small change can give you such a great feeling: the freedom to act without fear of consequences.

Null-conditional assignment saves you from those infinite if statements that consumed patience and attention.

Before, you had to watch every access like a minefield; now a single line does the job clearly and cleanly.

It's not just practicality, it's fresh air in your head.

Extension blocks bring order where there was previously a messy collection of scattered methods, allowing you to organize everything in a natural and elegant way.

It's like going from a chaotic table to a tidy desk where everything finally finds its place.

Partial constructors and partial events are that subtle confirmation that generators and handwritten code can coexist without conflict.

You decide what to keep and what to leave, without feeling like you're fighting the tools you use.

Even Span optimizations feel like silent help: the compiler anticipates your intent and frees you from unnecessary steps, like a collaborator who understands what you want to do before you even say it.

And then there are the small refinements, the ones that may not make any noise but that reduce repetition, clean up the code, and save you time.

You no longer have to resort to compromises or forced solutions to make what you write and what the machine generates coexist: now they fit together naturally, as if they were designed to breathe together.

It's not a dramatic revolution; it's an evolution that accompanies you gently, like a language that understands the direction you want to go and leaves you free.

C# 14 doesn't force you to change habits; it simply allows you to work more lightly, like a breeze coming in through a newly opened window and refreshing a room that's been closed for too long.

Perfection is achieved not when there's nothing left to add, but when there's nothing left to take away.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry — writer, aviator (1900 – 1944)

For the first time in a long time, you truly feel that language is on your side.

It's the natural evolution of a tool that grows with you.

AI is no longer an afterthought: it's part of the framework.

If until now you thought AI was the preserve of those immersed in notebooks and formulas, .NET 10 proves you wrong with surprising ease.

It's no longer something you observe from afar, like a separate and difficult-to-reach world.

It becomes part of your daily work without requiring you to change your identity or way of thinking.

Microsoft has made an unexpected choice, transforming artificial intelligence into an integrated, stable, and ready-to-use presence, not a library you hope will perform well.

It's something you already find at the heart of your development environment, designed to stay and accompany you.

The Microsoft Agent Framework becomes the beating heart of this new experience.

It brings together what was previously dispersed, fragmented, or complicated to combine and transforms it into a single, coherent path.

It allows you to build agents that really work, not conference demos, flows that follow real logic, collaborate, pass the baton, and organize themselves as a team that knows what to do and when to do it.

Alongside all this comes the Model Context Protocol, which eliminates that feeling of "impossible integration" that has haunted you for years.

Where before there were custom lines of code, strange dependencies, and improvised solutions, now you find a standard that opens up possibilities instead of limiting them.

It allows your agents to communicate with tools, databases, APIs, and resources and business applications without having to rewrite integrations every time.

It's like giving them the key to your house instead of having them knock on every door.

Everything connects with an almost surprising simplicity, as if someone had finally decided to eliminate unnecessary effort.

Microsoft.Extensions.AI gives you new peace of mind: you can change providers without overturning the application, communicate with different platforms without starting from scratch, and use local models when you want to protect your data.

It's not just flexibility, it's the freedom to choose without the burden of complexity.

And then there's Entity Framework Core 10, which brings into everyday life what until yesterday seemed like an experiment: intelligent searches, analyses that learn from context, systems that retrieve the right information at the right time.

It's the same experience as always, but enriched with a layer of intelligence that you don't have to implement, because it's already built in.

The future will come anyway; the difference is made by those who are ready to receive it.

Alan Kay — Computer scientist, pioneer of object-oriented programming (1940 – living)

The message is clear: AI is no longer a distant or complicated world.

It has become a stable and essential part of your stack, your workflow, your solutions.

And one thing is clear: if you don't start now, in a few months you could find yourself watching others rush by while still trying to figure out where to start.

There are those who are learning to use AI in .NET and in a few months will seem to have superpowers, and there are those who are still watching from afar.

Integrated AI in .NET 10 isn't a curiosity: it's a change in professional role.

In the C# Course, I'll teach you how to integrate agents, orchestrations, contexts, and models into your code without becoming dependent on tutorials or improvised solutions.

It's time to become a developer who leads, not follows.

Leave me your details and let's start building this skill together.

Post-quantum security isn't science fiction: it's here

There's a threat that many ignore today, but that tomorrow could undermine every security system we use: quantum computers.

They're no longer theory; they really exist, they're evolving, and when they reach sufficient power, they will break the asymmetric encryption algorithms that underpin the Internet.

It's a disturbing prospect, because everything that protects communications, transactions, and digital identities depends on those mechanisms.

.NET 10 is one of the first mainstream frameworks to integrate quantum-resistant cryptography.

Bring forward-thinking tools into your work that don't require expert skills to be effective.

It gives you the ability to build systems that remain robust even as the context changes.

It includes algorithms for post-quantum digital signatures, methods for secure key encapsulation, and hybrid approaches that combine traditional and post-quantum techniques for maximum protection.

Security isn't a product, it's a process.

Bruce Schneier — cryptographer, cybersecurity expert (1963 – living)

If you're developing critical infrastructure, long-lasting certificates, government, banking, or healthcare systems, this isn't an afterthought.

It's the fine line between being prepared and being unprepared when the threat strikes. cia will become concrete.

And as it prepares you for the future, .NET 10 also addresses the present.

Passkeys and WebAuthn support eliminate the burden of passwords, that old, fragile habit that creates more problems than solutions.

Authentication becomes a natural gesture, based on who you are instead of what you need to remember.

The fact that everything is integrated into Identity allows you to adopt it without complications.

The same goes for updates that strengthen secure communication, protocols that close outdated loopholes, and tools that make it easier to set up robust connections without sacrificing fluidity.

Every detail is designed to prevent you from having to rush to plug holes later; every component reduces the room for error.

Because security isn't something you add on as time goes by.

It's a promise to those who will use what you build, and .NET 10 finally gives you the tools to deliver on it from day one.

ASP.NET Core 10: Finally, OpenAPI 3.1 and Automatic Validation

If you build APIs every day, you know that feeling of wasting time on details that shouldn't even exist.

Endless configurations, repetitive validations, documentation that gets stale as you write it.

It's a draining job, because you know you're not creating value, you're just chasing what should already be ready.

ASP.NET Core 10 arrives as that moment when someone finally recognizes that effort and decides to truly lighten it.

With this release, you get:

• Modern API documentation, clear and aligned with what external tools expect
• Automatic validations that eliminate repetitive code and the same checks written a thousand times
• More reliable cache management, without improvised solutions or temporary workarounds
• Smoother real-time streaming, ideal for dashboards, continuous updates, and language model output
• WebAssembly applications that load faster and remain responsive even on weak connections

Every improvement points in the same direction: to remove burden, reduce noise, and allow you to obtain cleaner and more robust results.

Where previously required hand-crafted tweaks, now you find clear behaviors, reliable rules, and tools that work exactly as you expect.

All with a simplicity that leaves room for the natural flow of requests instead of workarounds.

It's the feeling of working with a framework that no longer hinders you, but removes barriers you've put up with for years.

With ASP.NET Core 10, you have interfaces that react as they should, and you can get back to focusing on what really matters: creating.

Every avoidable bug, every hand-written validation, every documentation you have to chase is time stolen from the part of your work that really makes you grow.

ASP.NET Core 10 takes these burdens off your shoulders, but only if you really know how to use it.

In the C# Course, I'll show you how to build solid, readable, and professional APIs with a mindset of future maintenance, not just today's delivery.

Leave me your data and let's transform the way you design APIs together.

Entity Framework Core 10: LINQ that finally does what you want

The way you work with data has always been u A sort of compromise: convenient when everything remains simple, tiring as soon as you try to push yourself further.

For years, Entity Framework has embodied precisely this unstable balance.

It makes your life easier when the project is small, then it starts to show you its limits and you find yourself gritting your teeth, more out of habit than real conviction.

EF Core 10 finally breaks this pattern and gives you back what you've always hoped for while you worked in silence, waiting for someone to truly understand your frustrations.

It offers you tools that don't seem like temporary fixes or shortcuts, but direct answers to the problems you face every day.

With EF Core 10, working with data becomes more natural because you can:

• write understandable joins without acrobatics, obtaining connections between tables directly
• handle complex updates using conditions and readable logic, without always having to resort to manual SQL
• activate or deactivate filters in a targeted way, instead of turning everything off with a single global switch
• model complex objects (addresses, amounts, coordinates) without forcing them into unnatural structures
• query JSON columns directly in the database, without loading more data than necessary
• use intelligent searches and similarity searches as naturally as Write any query

It finally gives you tools that until yesterday seemed out of reach without resorting to complicated code.

EF Core 10 stops being the choice "because there's nothing else" and becomes the choice because it does what you expect, the way you expect it to do it.

It's the feeling of having a system that doesn't hinder you but works in the same direction as you, one of those rare moments when you feel like the framework is collaborating with you instead of complicating your path.

Aspire: Cloud-Native Without the Pain

Building cloud-native applications often means trying to hold together a huge mosaic using only your bare hands.

Each part becomes a world unto itself, each service demands attention, and each component requires time, study, and patience.

Every piece is important, each cog has its own rhythm, but it rarely truly coordinates with the others.

Service discovery, distributed telemetry, taming configuration, orchestrating containers, hand-crafted dashboards… sometimes it feels like we're spending more energy organizing than creating value.

The essence of complexity is the lack of clear structure.

Edsger Dijkstra — Computer Scientist, Father of Structured Programming (1930 – 2002)

Aspire comes like a breath of fresh air after a never-ending climb.

It offers you a way of working that doesn't resemble magic, even if it comes close at times, but rather simple common sense applied to real problems.

You create a new project and find a ready-made, aligned, and organized ecosystem, where each service knows the others and everything takes shape naturally.

For the first time, you no longer have to chase scattered configurations or hard-to-remember dependencies.

The dashboard gives you the vision you've always wanted: a central point from which to observe the life of the system, understand how it reacts, what slows it down, and what supports it.

You no longer have to glue together disparate tools, because what you need is already there, clear and alive.

The biggest surprise is that Aspire doesn't lock itself into its perimeter.

It welcomes different technologies and languages, services A sort of compromise: convenient when everything remains simple, tiring as soon as you try to push yourself further.

Every optimization becomes a habit, every day becomes lighter.

Leave me your data and I'll help you build a setup that increases your real efficiency.

.NET MAUI and other platforms: mature desktop and mobile

.NET MAUI didn't get off to the easiest start.

For a while, it seemed like a promising project, but it failed to live up to expectations.

Widespread bugs, slownesses that are hard to explain, the constant feeling of working with something that wasn't truly ready yet.

With .NET 10, this story changes dramatically. MAUI is no longer an evolving prototype, but a platform that finally breathes, moves, and responds with the solidity of a real application.

Every part shows a new maturity.

Simplicity is the result of maturity.

Friedrich Nietzsche — philosopher (1844 – 1900)

Telemetry, service discovery, observability… everything that previously seemed like a puzzle to be put together by hand now falls into place, allowing you to focus on what really matters: building.

Even the tools you use every day are starting to behave the way you wanted them to from the start.

Interactions feel more natural, gestures respond without delay, animations flow fluidly as if the interface has learned to breathe.

Elements that seemed fragile are now solid, rigid ones become flexible.

Across every platform, you can feel a change of pace.

Apps on iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS no longer feel like poorly executed compromises, but offer coherent experiences that are suited to their context.

A uniform look, reassuring fluidity, a maturity that makes you think, "Now I can really trust this."

And as MAUI grows, even WPF and WinForms are no longer seen as "the remnants of the past" and are becoming carefully maintained, improved, and refined tools.

No longer mandatory, supported relics, but living parts of an ecosystem that continues to evolve.

The message is clear: whether you build desktop or mobile interfaces, .NET 10 is the time to stop making do and start working with tools that finally support you instead of hindering you.

Where you're coming from and why .NET 10 is the leap you've been waiting for

Before understanding what .NET 10 really offers you, you need to take a honest look at where you're starting from.

If you're still on .NET Framework 4.8, you already know: it works, it holds up, it does its job, but it's a technology from a bygone era.

It's great when you have to maintain software that lives in the past, but it becomes a drag as soon as you try to build something that looks to the future.

You can't build the future with the tools of the past.

Winston Churchill — statesman (1874 – 1965)

Today's world moves fast, moves in shape-shifting environments, lives on Linux, breathes in containers, grows or Horizontally, it intertwines with cloud services as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

And .NET Framework wasn't born for this kind of race, but .NET 10 is.

If you're coming from .NET 7, you're faced with another truth: it's a valid and solid version, but with a clear expiration date.

It's been with you this far, but it can't take you beyond because it was an intermediate step, a stage, not the destination.

And if you've approached .NET 9, you've already guessed the direction Microsoft was looking.

A fast, fluid version, full of ideas... but fragile over time.

Eighteen months of life are not the foundation on which to build a project that must last for years.

It was a window, not a door: .NET 10 is the door.

It's the version designed to last, to support, to grow with you.

It's the one you choose when you want a solid foundation, not an unstable floor.

Migrating to .NET 10 doesn't mean chasing the latest fad; it means stopping working with tools from the past while others are already building with those of tomorrow.

It's a choice of clarity, even before it's a choice of technology.

Migrating isn't risky: it's staying put that is.

We've come to the point everyone puts off, the one you always face last, like a phone call you don't feel like making: migration.

It seems like a leap into the unknown, an avoidable risk, a struggle you never find the right time to face.

And yet, if you give yourself a moment, you'll discover that the truth is the exact opposite.

.NET 10 doesn't bring revolutions that upend your world or changes capable of destabilizing what you've built.

The real differences are minimal, small adjustments that won't break anything if your system has been carefully designed.

It's a linear, defined, reassuring transition: it secures your work without unnecessary complications.

The process, in the end, is much simpler than it seems:

• Back up your project
• Update the SDK
• Set the TargetFramework to net10.0 and the LangVersion to 14
• Launch your test suite
• If everything passes, you're ready to deploy to production.

And if something breaks, often the problem isn't .NET 10, but a bug that's been there for a while and finally surfaces.

In any case, you still come away with something to gain.

Then there's the issue that really makes the difference: time.

Three years of guaranteed support, until 2028. Three years where you don't have to chase patches, hotfixes, or intermediate releases.

Three years of stability while the rest of the world moves chaotically, without a clear direction.

With .NET 10, you choose a solid and mature foundation, and when the next LTS arrives, you can take the next leap with the peace of mind of someone who chose well from the start.

We've reached a crossroads.

There are two paths ahead of you.

The first is comfortable, warm, reassuring: the one where you tell yourself that yes, it's all interesting, but maybe "in a few months," when the routine slows down and you'll have more space to think about it.

The other one is the one that really changes you.

The one you take when that voice inside you says, “Now. Not tomorrow.”

.NET 10 isn't a year-end update or a box to check off in a technical plan.

It's the moment you decide which side of the story you're on. You want to stay.

The real risk is not migrating.

The real risk is staying still while everything around you moves, and realizing in two years that you have no more room to recover.

It's one of those rare opportunities that must be seized when they come, not watched as they fade away.
