Linq is a C# DSL for SQL. You must have been thinking about Lync.


It’s not just a DSL, it’s also the fluent API. Because one thing Microsoft loves more than money, is confusing people with their naming.


They say that "naming things is hard," but tbh I think some people and orgs are just really bad at naming.

Quite right, too much muscle memory got me typing the wrong word.
