not as much C# the language, as CLR, the runtime. Because of reified generics, which is the way things are done in the .NET world, and which the runtime needs to support, it would also require explicit support in the runtime for Higher-kinded types or Type classes. And that won't happen without C# having these features (and having them first).
F# is really really great, but it is like an unwanted child of Microsoft :(
