Linqpad is awesome! Sadly, I don’t get to code in C# for my day job anymore but I still use Linqpad all the time. It’s main purpose originally was for building and testing Entity Framework SQL queries but it will run basically any C# code you plug into it on the fly.
Now, I primarily use it for testing out design concepts that end up getting translated to TypeScript. I also use it for validating the hot garbage that Elastic Search is serving up on a given day so I can send a nifty little report (Linqpad easily generates and exports tabular data) to the data team to show them that it is in fact their Elastic Search template that is an error laden dumpster fire rather than my code.
If you’re familiar with C#, F#, or Visual Basic, Linqpad is an incredibly valuable tool.
