Well, C# LINQ inherits laterally from F# which pulls it from a long tradition of ML languages, which in turn inherits it from granddaddy Lisp and it's OG code-is-data-is-code principle. I agree that most people that think of LINQ as "just another set of collection functions" miss the "code-as-data" bit that can make it truly shine, but .NET isn't the only place that can be found. The most unique thing about it is that C# was the first ALGOL descendant deigning to add some modest code-as-data chunks to its compiler. ;) |
