A lightweight code scratchpad for C#/F#/VB and database querying tool that supports both SQL and LINQ. Written by Joe Albahari.

LINQPad can be downloaded free from http://www.linqpad.net. Its main features are:

  • Runs code snippets in C#, VB.NET and F#, for .NET 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 4.6.
  • Executes queries on databases and other sources directly in LINQ (or SQL).
  • Explicit support for popular APIs such as LINQ-to-SQL, Entity Framework and OData, and databases such as SQL/Azure, SQLite, MySQL, Oracle and PostgreSQL.
  • Allows referencing custom assemblies and NuGet packages.
  • Built-in "object dumper" to facilitate easy experimentation. Recognizes and specially formats output from popular APIs such as Reactive Extensions.
  • Command-line support for automating scripts.
  • Built-in autocompletion and debugging (license purchase required).

LINQPad is popular for testing C# snippets. It also has built-in samples to help with learning LINQ.

Javascript equivalent to LinqPad

I'd like a small javascript scratchpad in which I can write and test (non-DOM related) functions. I'm not happy using the Firebug console to do this. Does such a thing exist as a standalone app?
