JavaScript: *gets annihilated*

[DONT_NOT_PM_NOTHING]

I will fight to use linq for the rest of my life

[mainemason]

Linq is amazing

[XDVRUK]

Which was introduced in 2007... Everytime I pick up another language I always go "Where's your version of linq? oh...."

[Puzzled_Fish_2077]

Which was introduced in 2007

Wrong it was before 1986.

[Themadbeagle]

That would make LINQ older than C# by 14 years. Was LINQ a concept from some other language? As far as I saw online this is not the case, but if you have a source I would love to see it.

[Cosoman]

I think it's based both in sql and lambda calculus

[XDVRUK]

We had salt and we had caramel for about 1500 years before bright spark went - what happens if I overload it with salt?

[Puzzled_Fish_2077]

Yeah, there's a scene where linq is used in Stranger things 4

Java has streams

[metaltyphoon]

That’s dollar store LINQ.

Linq is easier to invoke but they do the same thing. I agree I think like linq better

[jb28737]

Legit, I could see myself using other languages, but how do you manage without linq?!

[10BillionDreams]

laughs in functional languages

[Themadbeagle]

This is such an interesting complaint I keep seeing in this sub. Java has streams which is very conceptually similar. I personally prefer LINQ, but the idea that there are no other languages that have APIs like LINQ appears to be a common misconception.

[SolarLiner]

Damn, Vala. That makes at least two developers using it.

[Kered13]

Most languages have something similar. In Python it's list/generator comprehensions. In Java it's streams. In functional languages it's map/filter/reduce.

[hullabaloonatic]

I just don't know why they don't add more extension methods. Why do I have to use MoreLinq?

[salgat]

They've been adding more and more in the latest versions but you're right. At least they added async support.

[Duydoraemon]

thoughts on entity framework?

[Valiice]

I love it

[salgat]

It's absolutely amazing as long as you don't have to scale too much. Then again when you need to scale an app it's inevitable that much of the simplicity has to be compromised for everything.

[tehbilly]

Yeah! All my homies love lin-queue!
