It is a welcome new addition!
Mainstream languages are asymptotically approaching functional languages?
But I didn't like that I can't apply it directly without assigning to a delegate:
That is I can't do
(i => i * i)(12)

Arcane C++ and ->
Think about this - how arcane C++ looks [may be because of its C roots].
The most common operation in C++ is accessing a field through a pointer. And for that you have to type 2 characters - and >.
Such a huge waste of time for so many people who coded in C++. It may not look much, but consider over the life so many programmers.
Atleast many programmers would have saved an year of their life!
Mr.Bean!
One of my favourites!

Cost of constant speed of light
Cost of constant speed of light [irrespective of speed of the person measuring] is there is no absolute time! Isn't it amazing.
Time is very specific to each observer having a specific velocity. This arises only because of constant speed of light.
absolute space by the way, is just meaningless concept when we think about it, though it looks commonsense.

Bill Gates!
Such an amazing person!
I didn't know, He published a paper with an University of california professor
www.cs.berkeley.edu/~christos/papers/Bounds%20For%20Sorting%20By%20Prefix%20Reversal.pdf
He is such an awe-inspiring combination of nerd and exceptional enterpreneur!
And to top it all, he is really humane! I have heard so many stories of his effort lighting so many people's lives!
May be I should add a link to his article in wikipedia in case you are lazy!

Resharper
If you program in C# this is a must have add-in for Visual studio.
It has intelligent intellisense and 'goto a class', 'code generation' and saves a lot of time. It has nice refactoring as well as unit testing integration.
You never get a compile error and gives you so many suggestions which are small but add up, like 'make a field read only', 'delegate doesn't require parameters' etc.
