Question

What languages feature (1 per answer please) should be added to VB.NET in future versions?

Update: where possible provide links to examples of language feature as used elsewhere.

Answer 1

A C#-style yield return statement. Lots of cool stuff is being done with custom IEnumerable iterators, and currently these are a pain to write in VB.NET...

Answer 2

The ability to terminate statements with a semicolon.

Answer 3

Surrond code blocks with curly braces { }

Answer 4

Support for multiline lambda expressions.

Answer 5

Better IntelliSense for objects with events. When typing: "obj." the list of items should include the events without having to declare the object "with events" or having to do "addhandler".

Answer 6

C# has LINQ, SQL syntax embedded in C#.

VB needs 'LINC', Language INtegrated COBOL syntax :-)

Okay, kidding. I'm sure this will get like -5 for red herring.

Answer 7

Action<T> support. See this.

Answer 8

Map, Reduce, and MapReduce on the IEnumberable interface. We already have the ability to run delegates for the most common operations on enumerables, why don't we have a more generic version?
