If you're looking to get into C# 8.0 you're out of luck if using OS X. Visual Studio 2019 for Mac offers .Net Core 3.0 as an option if you have it installed but Mono hasn't caught up with C# 8.0 so isn't available. So much for cross-platform development - it seems OS X is still an afterthought.

What would you need mono for? If you’re using .net core...

Download Visual Studio for Mac 2019 and you won't find C# 8.0 listed under the project's language options. I'm referring to the Mac here where I understood Mono is still the way .Net Core is implemented.

Download Jetbrain's Rider IDE and I'm pretty sure it'll get you hacking away in no time.
