Mar 18, 2023 at 22:20 comment added Stack Exchange Broke The Law @RobertHarvey in the context of this question, "loops" refers to implementing a join the obvious way on the client side of the database connection.
Mar 17, 2023 at 17:57 comment added Robert Harvey @user253751: It's all loops under the hood. The point of programming languages and tools like Linq is to provide abstractions over other abstractions, which is what Linq does.
Mar 17, 2023 at 15:40 comment added Stack Exchange Broke The Law @AndreasScheinert it's funny because MS LINQ works by - in the absence of a suitable join mechanism - doing a loop

Mar 13, 2013 at 8:46 comment added apfelbox This matches quite good, with what I was thinking. Thank you for the insight!
Mar 11, 2013 at 20:43 comment added Robert Harvey @AndreasScheinert: That's a perfect example of the difference in thinking. If I have a table of customers in a SQL database, they're not going to be heterogenous.
Mar 11, 2013 at 20:30 comment added AndreasScheinert @Robert Harvey the returned collection may be heterogenous. Do you mean internally in the NoSQL system or how the client driver is implemented?
Mar 11, 2013 at 14:07 comment added Robert Harvey @AndreasScheinert: How does one do a join with NoSQL? Does it perform well under the hood?
Mar 11, 2013 at 9:43 comment added AndreasScheinert Ah you almost had my up vote, + 1 for Sapir Wharf -1 for conflating NoSQL and imperative programming. Collections may be essential for NoSQL but loops aren't. MS LINQ and similar abstractions work perfectly fine with NoSQL. Another +1 for mentioning Lisp
Mar 10, 2013 at 2:39 comment added user40980 There is also the c2.com article/discussion on the SapirWhorfHypothesis which touches on programming... and links to ProgrammingLanguagesShapeThoughts
Mar 9, 2013 at 23:49 comment added chrisaycock The Wikipedia article on the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis mentions applications to programming languages.
