"Hejlsberg: We believe the LINQ Project provides very powerful
capabilities that are unlike what other programming paradigms offer.
With LINQ, queries, set operations, and transforms become first class
concepts in .NET languages and APIs in the same way as classes and
objects. Rich queries that could previously only be written in SQL or
XQuery can now be expressed natively in C# or Visual Basic.

The comprehensiveness of the LINQ Project is also unique. Most other
solutions have focused on a single domain, such as XML or SQL, or a
particular language, whereas LINQ is designed from the ground up to be
open and extensible, supporting all forms of objects and data, using a
LINQ-enabled language. We're breaking ground here, but there's nothing
intrinsic about LINQ that would preclude other .NET languages, such as
C++ or Javascript, or third-party languages from adding this
capability. "

I hope Boo can be enabled to "LINQ" :)
