I guess you can argue that Haskell's do notation is exactly what LINQ (the grammar) is. F#'s computation expressions is a super-charged LINQ also.
I would like to see C#'s LINQ get an update. It seems to have been left to rot since Eric Meijer left the team. It doesn't even support the new values tuples where it's been fitted to every other part of the language:
from (x,y) in Some((1,2)) // (x,y) will error
select x + y;
The from x in y, let x = y, where x, select x, and, join x in y on a equals b, could and should be extended. Even better would be to allow custom operators like F#'s computation expressions.
