I was about to post that in a few years' time C# will acquire enough 
features to make code that follows the functional paradigm feasible in that 
language.

Then I noted that this was the 10th anniversary repost ;)

My question to those who know a bit of C#: what is the state-of-the-art 
equivalent to

"\n".join(foo.description() for foo in mylist
                         if foo.description() != "")
