The best thing Microsoft could do for .NET is give LinqPad away with every copy of Windows. I'm hesitant to suggest they buy it out though.

- svick 10y agoNot sure LinqPad is the right way to go. What I would like to see is a dedicated REPL application (likely based on the scripting dialect of C#) with IntelliSense and support for NuGet packages (if you want to have those features in LinqPad, you have to pay). Kind of similar to Xamarin Workbooks, but better, and without all the "it's for documentation and inspecting applications" cruft.
- gogocats 10y agoNot a dedicated REPL app, but there's an 'interactive window' for c# in VS 2015, it has IntelliSense (but no NuGet support, which might be added in the future.) https://github.com/dotnet/interactive-window https://github.com/dotnet/interactive-window
