This is interesting because all these magical functions (zip, map, Rx etc) have roots in LINQ which sprung from .Net world. I find it hard to believe that the battle tested CLR and C# doesn't have the equivalent functions.

The part that was new in C# was the SQL-like syntax on top of them, and most subsequent languages haven't considered that worth adopting.
