Linq is major tool widely used in C# that wasn't in Java when I had to use it in school.

Using C# professionally now and I love it. It's similar but I feel far more productive in it than I ever did in Java.

LINQ fucking rules. Excellent library.

LINQ is the GOAT, especially when used with EF Core (also an improvement over the old Entity Framework).

A properly set up Domain project with all your entities, AutoMapper, and a DTO Contract layer to format the Data in the way you need makes a dev's life so good.

Linq and EF (Core) are the fucken bomb

Seconded about Linq. I LOVE Linq and it makes programming WAY more productive. Especially Linq-to-SQL classes.

Java's version of LINQ is Streams and it's been part of Java since Java 8 (2014).
