It took five years for LINQ to be added to C# because it was too painful for anyone other than Microsoft to add any syntax to the language. Macros would have fixed that.
- Dn_Ab 16y agoit's interesting that you say this because Nemerle, another language on the .NET platform implemented LINQ into the language using Macros.
