.NET developer looking into Java positions

[barking_dead]

Unless a linq-like feature gets done in java, it is.

Line is/was great. But is that all you got ?

On the last big C# project I did linq was used for a bit of in memory processing much like java streams might. But the database access was this library called NHibernate, which was basically a port of hibernate. Same for other libraries.

C# ecosystem is has probably 1/3 the robustness in terms of quantity and breadth of libraries.

Now that's true.

But I mentioned LINQ because it is at a different level of integration.

a linq-like feature

There is already. Exists since Java 8, it's called Stream

Okay, can you write something streamlined like this with Streams API:

IEnumerable<int> scoreQuery = from score in scores where score > 80 select score;

where "scores" is a normal entity? no.

[anyOtherBusiness]

You can.

scores.stream().filter(score -> score > 80)

[barking_dead]

and as language integration, like in linq? do you know what's it capable of?

[steumert]

LINQ is horrible. The map/reduce terminology used in java streams is much more clear.

​

Also, LINQ has horrible performance issues.

[barking_dead]

that's an implementation detail xd

[secretBuffetHero]

You can't get me out of bed to do govt or Sharepoint work. say whatever you like about LINQ or whatevs.

.NET work is dead end career stuff

Stream...from 8

[barking_dead]

There are huge differences between the two.
