C# 7 Features Worth Knowing

The out variables example for C# 7 is misleading. You don't need the

  int quantity;

declaration. Leaving it in there defeats the purpose of the example which is meant to show that the declaration is not necessary :-)

A more complete list of new features (and with better examples) is available at [0].

That being said, I think this post highlights some of more beneficial features. Most of the others (maybe with the exception of type pattern matching) will likely lead, I fear, to less decipherable code.
