My inspiration for this statement was the fact that in VB .NET you are able to implicitly define a lambda expression in this way: Dim f = Function (x) x + x Console.WriteLine(f(5)) 'Outputs...

I love C# and I would never want to do anything to make it seem any less amazing but I have to give credit where credit is due ... to Visual Basic .NET. Yes, I said it.

Lambda expressions form the basis of lambda calculus which (this will seem a bit mathy) is a formal system which is used to explore mathematical and programmatic topics such as recursion and computability...
