So many things have been called Linq over the years it's hard to talk about at this point. I've written C# for many years now and I'm not even sure what I would say it's referring to, so I avoid the term. In this case I would say extension methods are what he's really referring to, of which Linq to objects is built on top of.

I'd say there are just two things: 1) The method chaining extension methods on IEnumerable<T> like Select, Where, GroupBy, etc. This is identical to the rust example in the article. 2) The weird / bad (in my opinion) language keywords analogous to the above such as "from", "where", "select" etc.
