Quaere: LINQ Arrives for Java

in: infoq

It seems like LINQ is a Anders monopoly. Anders Noras introduced the Quaere library, billed as LINQ for Java, last week at JavaZone.

An example of retrieving a list of product name’s from a list of products is:

List products = Arrays.asList(Product.getAllProducts());
Iterable productNames =
 from("p").in(products).
 select("p.getProductName()");

Oops, it seems like typed checking is out. Not really LINQ in an language extension way, is it?
