What would you take out of C# etc?

All non-generic container classes and nullable reference types.

What would you suggest instead? I quite like the nullable reference types, but I do know many get annoyed. My brain is often a scurry of squirrels, so I grew to become thankful for the nullable refs overtime.

I don't mind NRT but I hate dealing with C# projects that haven't set < Nullable>Enable</Nullable> in their csproj. It's not perfect because I know at runtime it can still be nullable but it's nice when the compiler does most of the checks for you.

The compiler now mostly solves this now but the abstraction is a little leaky.

I heavily use nullable types but I always want them to be declared nullable.

(not OP) I would take out mostly historic stuff, that is in there for backwards compat, that has been superseeded. But this could be achieved using linters.
