Net 9.0 LINQ Performance Improvements

LINQ is so fucking useful and well designed feature of .NET ecosystem that it is unreal when you gotta use lang which doesnt have such a thing.

C# design team is/was unparalleled

LINQ is largely based on FP stuff, also how Smalltalk collections work.

It is relatively easy to find similar capabilities in most languages nowadays, unless one is stuck on Go, C and similar.

No it isn't easy to find similar capabitites in java, go, python, ruby.

Maybe you do simulate some of this using meta programming in ruby but its certainly not 'easy to find'.

It certainly is, unless you are talking about SQL like syntax, which is basically syntax sugar for classical FP.

And I explicitly left Go out of my list.

>unless you are talking about SQL like syntax

yes thats what linq is?

"Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) is the name for a set of technologies based on the integration of query capabilities directly into the C# language." With LINQ, a query is a first-class language construct, just like classes, methods, and events.

doing this in java is not LINQ imo

  List<Integer> lowNums = filter(toList(numbers), new 
  Predicate<Integer>() {
        @Override
        public boolean apply(Integer n) {
            return n < 5;
        }
    });
