The IBM mainframe: How it runs and why it survives

Inline SQL is something I've always missed elsewhere. Not sure it's viable when you've got a billion different incompatible databases supported on a platform, so some of the limitations of mainframes have advantages.

Check out C# LINQ, or Haskell postgresql-typed.

God, I hate LINQ. When dealing with code that uses it, it's like you're reading a detective story where suddenly TYGER TYGER BURNING BRIGHT IN THE FOREST OF and then back to murders until WHAT IMMORTAL HAND OR EYE and then murders again.

I never cared much for the LINQ syntax myself either. But absolutely have enjoyed a lot of the extension methods for use with given data sets.

pl/SQL has good support for inline SQL.
