As a person with a lot of .NET experience but has been working on other tech since 6 years, the wow effect I had from using LINQ has never been repeated with anything else.

It felt like magic, maybe too much magic, but so useful nevertheless.

LINQ comes from FP, and was introduced into C# via Haskell, and actually the first version (.NET 3.5) was quite similar to Smalltalk or Common Lisp collections.

Java is getting that power in a different, more orthogonal way, IMO, through Project Babylon: https://openjdk.org/projects/babylon/
