I, having been burned many times, have developed an allergy to the latest new shiny thing, especially if heavily promoted. The number of such things that have been successful are lost in the mass of those that have not. For every C#, there's a hundred Microsoft Bobs. Investing scant resources (and your time and mind-share are among the most precious you have) in a technology before it has developed a following, third-party support (tools and libraries), a viable user base, and the resources to educate yourself and others is a significant gamble. Sure, you might win. But you probably won't.
