Hello everybody I’m Nick and in this video I’m going to take a look at the curious case of the dynamic type in C#. We are going to take a look at the origins of the feature and why it was added in the first place, we are going to see some usecases and some benchmarks along side some really weird stuff that might feel out of place.
