Care to elaborate on what would make C# a bad language?
1 comments

It's a product of an era of OOP when the idea of a program fitting in a developers head was a dangerous reactionary idea.

They have in fairness fixed a lot of the worst aspects of this by adding basically a second language to it but e.g. I massively prefer writing F# if purely because if I want to do something I can just to it rather than first implementing public static DoThing : IDoThing

  public static DoThing : IDoThing
Yeah... Right.

In other words, C# is a bad language because you don't like it?

What does prevent you from "just do it" in C# without extra classes and interfaces?

The noun to verb ratio is too high. This is a normative statement but it's one I'm willing to make that you apparently can't detect.
