Chord (concurrency)
A chord is a concurrency construct available in Polyphonic C sharp, Polyphonic C♯ and Cω inspired by the join pattern of the join-calculus. A chord is a function body that is associated with multiple function headers and cannot execute until all function headers are called. Synchronicity Cω defines two types of functions: synchronous and asynchronous. A synchronous function acts like a normal function in typical imperative languages: upon invocation the function body is executed, and a return value may or may not be returned to the caller. An asynchronous function acts similarly to a synchronous function that immediately returns void, but also triggers execution of the actual code in another thread/execution context. References

Polyphonic C Sharp
Language Integrated Query (LINQ, pronounced "link") is a Microsoft .NET Framework component that adds native data querying capabilities to .NET languages, originally released as a major part of .NET Framework 3.5 in 2007. LINQ extends the language by the addition of query expressions, which are akin to SQL statements, and can be used to conveniently extract and process data from arrays, enumerable classes, XML documents, relational databases, and third-party data sources. Other uses, which utilize query expressions as a general framework for readably composing arbitrary computations, include the construction of event handlers or monadic parsers. It also defines a set of method names (called ''standard query operators'', or ''standard sequence operators''), along with translation rules used by the compiler to translate query syntax expressions into expressions using fluent-style (called method syntax by Microsoft) with these method names, lambda expressions and anonymous ...
