Parallel linqdigestion

An speculation for the future plans for LINQ, once parallel computing became mainstream, in Don Desmak blog.

Linqdigestion

Today I've downloaded the May CTP of Linq . I was expecting something more new but... Anyway, there is a lot of cool examples on it. One of them, LogicProgramming, builds a small Logic Programming lenguage inside C#!!!. You can do something like:


Rules rules = new Rules();

Func1 isToy = Func.Arity1("isToy");
Func2 playsWith = Func.Arity2("playsWith");
Func2 likes = Func.Arity2("likes");

// A doll is a toy.
rules += isToy("doll");
// A train is a toy.
rules += isToy("train");
// Ann plays with a train.
rules += playsWith("ann","train");
// John likes a toy if Ann likes that toy.
rules += Y => likes("john",Y)==likes("ann",Y);
// Ann likes toys that she plays with.
rules += X => likes("ann",X)==(isToy(X) & playsWith("ann",X));

// Ask a question: What does John like?
foreach(string s in rules.Solve(N => likes("john", N))) {
Console.WriteLine(s);
}

Cool right? The code is full of lambda expressions, extensional methods... swahili.
