C# is slowly moving away from "everything is a class". Static classes with static imports is basically a module or namespace. C# also allows stand-alone functions inside methods. But you still have to declare a static class to hold "top-level" functions, which is somewhat ugly. Given the current development of C# I expect we see stand-alone functions in the future.

C# 9 will allow stand-alone functions in the top level program. They do however count as local functions to the top level programs, and will not be accessible from anywhere outside of that context.

  Yeah, though it basically amounts to syntactic sugar at this point.
