> "Whatever the term meant when it was launched is now forgotten" Language INtegrated Query. The SQL query isn't written inside a string, opaque and uncheckable, it's part of the C# language which means the tooling can autosuggest and sanity check database table names and field names against the live database connection, it means the compiler is aware of the SQL data types without manually building a separate ORM/layer. That people who don't use C# think it's just a Microsoft way to write a lambda filter on an in-memory list is sad.
