Examples

LINQ

// async/await
async fn add(a, b) { a + b }

result = await add(1, 2)
println(result)

// linq example
class Linq {
    static fn TestSimpleLinq() {
        //Prepare Data Source

            {Name: "Flour",  Calories: 50},
            {Name: "Butter", Calories: 200},

        ingredient = from i in ingredients where i.Calories >= 150 orderby i.Name select i

        //Display
        for item in ingredient => println(item)
