Ability to compile .linq into exe
Options
With existing .NET tooling, I think this should not take very huge effort to compile a .linq file into exe or at least Visual Studio project(don't need to dump to UI).

I can assure you that this would be a ton of work to do properly, even without the UI
LINQPad doesn't use MSBuild or project files, relies on numerous host services and and there are many features that would require special-casing. -
I personally will copy all code from LINQPad into Visual Studio C# project Program.cs and add reference to LINQPad.Runtime and then hit run dotnet run directly.

For simple cases, LINQPadless will do this for you:
