Sadly yes, today I learned C# is a programming language for 10x programmers.

Why is this a surprise? Microsoft employs a fair chunk of the researchers currently working on functional programming languages in industry. The ideas get exchanged between Haskell, F#, and C#. Look at C# 7.0, where many of the new features seem to be an effort to make the language friendlier to Haskell programmers.

At least, that's my perspective as someone who uses Haskell.

I was being sarcastic regarding the blub programmer, JVM and .NET languages are my daily tools.

Given the usual line of reasoning for Go's "simplicity", even JavaScript is for 10x developers.
