It's not radical succintness. I just like to write pure functions. C# embraces many fp idioms, but in the end makes it hard to use them without a lot of ceremony. So what I see is a very capable language, with generics far ahead of golang, but a pain to write because I need to nest them inside namespaces and classes. If you take the HN crowd for instance (which is what a lot of startups are like), nobody wants to write Java-style OOP. C# can simplify it quite a bit (retaining full backward compat), but likely won't.
