Yes I can certainly understand the reasons startup culture leans towards the less verbose less boilerplate demanding languages. For me, my short term memory is too bad for languages without types and autocomplete on the level of JetBrains products. I feel like C# specifically (I don't have any real Java experience) is a lot lower on boilerplate now and I can usually get a working prototype of something together in a day or two and it allows me to target games, desktop, mobile, Web, ML, etc. But it's not to everyone's taste and that's fine.
