Subject: [xquery-talk] specification for Microsoft's U-SQL ?<br>
<br>
Seems interesting in principle.<br>
<a href="https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3a%2f%2fthenewstack.io%2fmeet-u-sql-microsofts-new-language-big-data%2f&data=01%7c01%7cmrys%40microsoft.com%7caef4ceeec92543784b5608d2e23771f1%7c72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7c1&sdata=iZjmF47tPZ316GAyjeXegMSLOq%2bLFAbo3zvRYOwMPy0%3d" target="_blank">https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3a%2f%2fthenewstack.io%2fmeet-u-sql-microsofts-new-language-big-data%2f&data=01%7c01%7cmrys%40microsoft.com%7caef4ceeec92543784b5608d2e23771f1%7c72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7c1&sdata=iZjmF47tPZ316GAyjeXegMSLOq%2bLFAbo3zvRYOwMPy0%3d</a><br>
<br>
But anyone in a luck to see a specification for it ?<br>
<br>
Thanks for any pointer, best regards<br>
