Type of issue

Missing information

Description

• In the opening sentence, link to the updated language reference, where this change is defined (or the What's new article).
  • https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/proposals/csharp-14.0/user-defined-compound-assignment
• "user defined" should be "user-defined"
• Visual Studio 2026 should refer to "Insiders"
• Address the design decision for mutability vs. immutability in more depth.
• Clarify that prefix and postfix ++ and -- dont' need multiple declarations because the compiler creates the correct lowering for the correct return value.
• Clarify that the first example demonstrates the compiler expansion without user defined operators.
• Consider a bit more of the step-by-step version of walking through the tutorial.
  • Highlight the steps and especially the result. And remove the "install prerequisites"
• Look for "see" and inclusive language for the vision impaired
