Not implemented in our .NET COBOL, true, but there's no reason why it
would be particularly more difficult than, say, EXEC SQL, which we
have and does work. ADO.NET works, and LINQ is just syntactic sugar
for ADO.NET.
Personally, I'm not particularly impressed with LINQ. It's cute, but
it doesn't add much to the expressiveness of the language. It's
certainly not innovative (in the .NET space) the way WCF is, or the
way F# is, or the way IronRuby is.
are two very
important ones that come to mind immediately. There are others.
OK, name some.
