Microsoft released VisualStudio 2008 last week. We now have a production version of C# 3.0 with LINQ. Using LINQ is much nicer than dealing with queries embedded in Strings. I really think Java is in dire need of something like LINQ. Thoughts?

Hi Timo, Having taken a quick look at Querydsl, it looks like one of the better non-DSL programmatic query generators I've seen (i.e. system for building queries using Java method calls.) Nice work! Absent a LINQ-like integrated query DSL, this is probably the next best option.

For a typesafe LINQ to Java approach consider Querydsl : http://source.mysema.com/display/querydsl/Querydsl

Querydsl supports JPA/Hibernate, JDO, SQL and Java Collections.

Hi Daniel.

Thanks very much! We take user feedback very seriously and try to make Querydsl as good as possible within the constraints of Java (6). Scala support might come in the future.

Try it out and see if it works for you ;)
