NAME
    LINQ - an interpretation of Microsoft's Language Integrated Query

SYNOPSIS
      use feature 'say';
      use LINQ 'LINQ';
  
      my $double_even_numbers =
        LINQ( [1..100] )
          ->where( sub { $_ % 2 == 0 } )
          ->select( sub { $_ * 2 } );
  
      for my $n ( $double_even_numbers->to_list ) {
        say $n;
      }

DESCRIPTION
    LINQ is basically an application of SQL concepts to arrays and iterators.
    Hopefully this implementation will eventually cover other data types like
    SQL tables, XML and JSON data, etc.

    Not much is documented yet, but the test suite includes numerous examples
    of LINQ's usage.

HISTORY
    I wrote this back in 2014, but never released it. After a discussion about
    how nice it would be to have a programming language which used SQL
    concepts natively, eliminating the need to "map" between how your
    application handled data and how your database handled data, I remembered
    this. So I thought I'd push what I had so far onto CPAN and maybe think
    about reviving it.
