> yes thats what linq is?

The link that you gave says "LINQ is the name for a set of technologies" which includes the "SQL like syntax".

Includes is not the same as "is".

It isn't the most often used part of LINQ.

sure but you cannot just remove 'sql like syntax' and claim you can do linq in any language.

You can in fact ignore "sql like syntax" and find "similar capabilities" in many other languages. After all, most C# coders ignore the "SQL like syntax" in C# itself.

And when languages imitate features of a different language, they tend to go for the features that people like and use. No-one is going to add "similar capabilities" to the feature that no-one wants in the first place. People who say "C#'s LINQ is awesome!" just aren't talking about "sql like syntax", and people who say "without sql like syntax it's just not on the same level as LINQ" are misguided.
