That was true for the first version of C#, but they've been adding tons
of high level features ever since. In version 3, there will be stuff
like type inferencing, lambda expressions, etc. LINQ is really cool,
too, neatly unifying in a typechecked way databases, XML, etc. There's
also F#, another .NET language, if you really want to go functional.
.NET is an awesome platform. The only problem with it is that it's from
Microsoft.

That's not true. It comes from an academic environment, but it is
targeted towards industry. That's why Scala is byte compatible with the
JVM and Java libraries. They also support .NET, but that support has
fallen behind with the latest versions.
