    The type inference capabilities of .NET and runtime generic capabilities showcased in this demo seems awesome. If only somehow the JVM could have runtime generics instead of doing the .class whenever you wish to indicate a class to a framework for doing something.

    If only Linq to SQL weren't being relegated to "all back of the bus" status within Microsoft. Truly a shame....
