LINQ: Language Integrated Query
In the upcoming release of Microsoft's .NET version 3.0, code named ORCA, they have a
fewature called Language Integrated Query (LINQ). [Come to think of it, v3.0 is now out,
I've been rooted in C++, I'll have to get back to C@ and check it out]. The language
extension allows one to
write queries for anything with an iterator. Writing inline SQL queries comes immediately
to mind. I've also heard that there is something called
PLINQ (Parallel LINQ).
Here are a couple of references regarding the subject:
On an unrelated programming note, erlang is said to be a language for developing interacting distributed
applications. One interesting capability is Hot Code Replacement (replacing code and data
without stopping the system).
