I've tried many languages for the last 35 years and C# is, at least of the C-style OO-focused languages, one of the nicer ones if not the nicest one. Microsoft has been doing very nice things with it the last several years, especially. I, for one, am very happy with C# in Unity. I would still prefer a LISP (Arcadia/Clojure comes to mind) as a first class citizen, and support for a truly functional language (such as F#) would be nice, but I can live with C#, especially with the more-functional C#6 and .NET 4.6/.7 support in the latest Unity versions. If Unity supported CoreCLR and all CLR languages natively, as well as NuGet, along with Rider (or VS/VSCode) it would be a near-perfect development environment for games, IMO. Not necessarily for everyone and everything, but enough to be good for many things and many people, including amateurs and learners.
