LINQ for Java tool [closed]

Answer 1

It's worth noting that Scala 2.8 is going to have LINQ support...

Actually, scala standart collections provide API that works like LINQ-for-Objects in some sense. Here is the example:

List("Paris","Berlin","London","Tokyo")
  .filter(c => c.endsWith("n"))
  .map(c => c.length) 
// result would be length of the words that ends 
// with "n" letter ("Berlin" and "London").

Don't be scared of new-line-dot syntax: you can write code in plain old style:

Array(1,2,3,4,5,6).map(x => x*x)

And there is a number of projects that provide close to LINQ-to-SQL syntax. For example, snippet taken from Squeryll:

import Library._
using(session) { 
  books.insert(new Author(1, "Michel","Folco"))            
  val a = from(authors)(a=> where(a.lastName === "Folco") select(a)) 
}
// but note that there is more code behind this example
