Strongly typed generic object in C#

Read Original

This article discusses the concept of a strongly typed generic object in C#, presenting a series of code examples that progressively add type safety features. The author starts with a simple generic class `Object<T>` inheriting from `Object`, then refines it with a recursive type constraint `where T : Object<T>`, and finally adds a `notnull` constraint to address null issues. The tone is lighthearted and self-aware, acknowledging the impracticality of the implementation while highlighting the beauty of type safety in C#. The article is concise, aimed at developers interested in C# generics and type system quirks.
