But isn't the same true for a statically typed language with sufficiently powerful macros? I don't know if Rust falls into that category, having never used it, but I don't think it makes a difference whether the metaprogramming happens during compile time or runtime.

Yeah, if they're talking about what I think they're talking about, yes, something like LINQ could be implemented with macros (compiler plugin variant, I think) in Rust.
