Cool kids like functional programming, so this is the new fad. Microsoft evangelists play for them.

Sad to say, C# is beginning to look more like JavaScript. The readability is lower and with more linq expressions, it takes longer to understand what the code is doing. For true engineering quality code, it should be more readable so there is less wasting of time understanding it.

I always knew it would come to this. I can see the case for using lambda functions in certain situations but I always regarded their introduction into C# as a bad move due to their potential for abuse. Sometimes adding N dimensions of abstraction is not a good move. I mean, shall we all start doing maths in base 90 just to use fewer digits? How about we join together n to the power of p math opeartors into newer short-hand operators, just to make that calculus even harder to follow? Just think - one hundred lines of calculus could be comprised into a single line!

cryptic syntax to programmers in other languages. that's why i don't like it.
i always try to write the code in a style that is familiar to all languages.
when as a pascal programmer i started using c it affected my future pascal code. when i got better at javascript it affected my future c code.
this monday at work they told me to use this syntax for delegates (given int add(int a, int b)):
Func<int, int, int> x;
x = add;
instead of:
delegate int X(int a, int b);
X x = add;
i prefer the later, because it's more language tolerant.
typedef int (*X)(int, int);
X x = add;
type X = function(a, b: integer) : integer;
var x: X = add;

What gets me is that this is the 2nd iteration (or 3rd product) they have successfully created, why do they need additional funding to move to the next phase. Me thinks there is a business plan where they get ALL their funding for a new product/version from kickstarter and pocket any profit.

Businessman from Bury invents crypto mining machines that can run on cow poo
Cows not included.

Unless he also has come up with a way of harvesting the methane and carbon di-oxide produced by the cows, this is probably even less environmentally friendly than electricity from fossil fuel plants. To say nothing of the smell.

Right. We don't need crypto stuff nor cows when we go to Mars. Even astronauts produce poop, so let's do something useful[^] with it.

Just what we need - even more sh*t in the atmosphere.

This may be good for vegetarians, but is likely to be a disaster for the cow population.
Horses uses to be quite common. People used them for transport, motive power, etc. When the internal combustion engine was invented and cars became cheap(er), these horses were no longer needed. Most of them were slaughtered for cat food. If this non-bovine "milk" becomes popular, the same fate is likely to befall the dairy cows.
(I make no comment on the morality or otherwise of eating animals or animal products)
