so... properties that require a steeper learning curve, a system that's worse far worse than JPA+Spring Data (or you could use the hibernate in both languages - a java development), another word for var/let, I'd disagree about generics, var/let again, I wonder what rust devs would say about these null inline conditionals that require more knowledge, and... yield is actually neat if also not another non-traditional baggage thing to learn. Anyhow, I guess my take is that Rust is a better language than C# in all the ways that C# might be better than Java and more... Except that C# is a lot like Java and is the language of choice if you use Unity - so it does have a big awesome ugly library that Java does not have. Really we should feel sorry about all the Unity baggage C# devs get to deal with. Then there's Microsoft land, which has not inspired me of code quality and can't get out of VB think.

Hibernate is an ORM. LINQ is just what the name says it is language integrated query. Linq is understood by the compiler, translated into expression trees at run time and then any third party provider can translate it to the destination language. You can pass Hibernate expressions around and depending on context, they can get translated to regular IL when working with Lists, Sql when working with RDMSs or MongoQuery when working with Mongo, etc.
