What the World is saying about LINQ

  • Article

“LINQ is totally awesome. It’s like this thing that you use to condense your entire application into one line of demo code. Sweet!” - Stanley Morgan

 

“LINQ is divine but DLINQ is a delinquent. It gives programmers too much power and makes programming against data way too easy. Is nothing sacred anymore?” – Ned Flanders

 

“Lambdas are old school. LISP had these decades ago. If all you want to do is be a sheep then go right ahead. I prefer ACME.” – Wyle E Coyote

 

“I can’t remember what they are called, but those things you make to build up a result out of a bunch of braces and stuff are really cool.” - Anonymous

 

“LINQ will change the way we think about thinking about programs without requiring us to actually think about them.” – National Research Council

 

“LINQ puts the 3GL back in the 4GLs, together making a 7GL!” – Guy Steele

“LINQ is the next best thing since sliced bread. Before LINQ we had to cut those database loaves up ourselves. It was a mess. Now programming against data is as easy as simply selecting the slices we want. Anyone seen that plastic doodad that holds the bag closed?” – Heimlich

“LINQ is the best party game I’ve played in a long time.” – Jeff Bezos
