Can I use it via the command-line interface like Python (this is what I meant by Interactively). – wassimans Feb 07 '11 at 19:18

If by interactively you mean not having to manually compile or run as a console application, then yes. There are several tools that allow this.

The best, imo, is LinqPad. See: http://www.linqpad.net/

Mono--its not just for linux devs. – Feb 07 '11 at 18:53
There is not a Windows version as I know. Am I right? – wassimans Feb 07 '11 at 19:32
@Wassim, I haven't tried it. But, .NET applications in general are not *not* Windows or any platform specific. Unless they p-invoke or use a library with platform only features. – kenny Feb 07 '11 at 19:53
