How's everyone's experience with C# 14 since release day?

Screenshot of Jetbrains Rider with the Island theme, which I am digging

Upgraded @jetbrains-rider.bsky.social to 2025.3. The Islands theme is the first time in probably a decade where I didn't immediately change the theme. I'm digging it.

Rider 2025.3 has just landed!

🔥 Same-day compatibility with .NET 10, full support for C# 14 features.
🏝️ New default Islands UI theme
⏱️ Major startup and @unrealengine.bsky.social performance boosts
