I'd much rather prefer them to spend their time to add stuff to the CLR to remove the boiler code required for simple things. We need more of the likes of "System.IO.File.ReadAllLines()", one liner functions that take care of the most common things. Like if you want to encrypt with AES you need a 8-10 lines of codes, if you want to convert a byte array to a hex string or do case insensitive string comparisons, you need to create your own helper functions, etc. Until recently there was no json serializer out of the box. For some of the features mentioned here, I can only wonder how many developers will really use them, while the cost is to make the syntax even more cryptic to a beginner.
