As a Rubyist just starting to do a little php for a company in need(from thoughtworks US btw), I feel your same pain, but in php. I’ve been researching for the past hour how to get a nice map function that will call a method on each of my objects. Arg. At least php is fast :) And I got PhpSpec working at least like it would in rails.

Cheers

I had the same experience, as a Smalltalk inspired C# developer. i find myself using a lot less conditional code and a lot less loops and iterator

As a Haskell-inspired C# programmer, I completely agree :)

As a ruby-loving programmer that programs C# every day, this post says exactly what I thought when I just made the switch. As you say, lambda expressions will really change the change the feel of it, and we still maintain the static typing!

On a side-note, you can actually do (as you probably know):

foreach (Person person in FindAllPeople()) { … }

and:

FindAllPeople().ForEach(delegate(Person person) { Console.WriteLine(person.Name); });
