I am afraid that's actually not 100% accurate. Microsoft also uses term "LINQ" for method-based query syntax. See here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb896339(v=vs.110).a...

Yes, I know Microsoft put "LINQ" over the entire thing, but calling map, filter, fold etc. "LINQ" seems to be a huge stretch. Method-based query options were around in .NET and C# before the LINQ name existed.

It's not really "Language INtegrated" if there's no real language aspect, is it?
