Can you open a text editor and get going with C#? Now you easily can. iPython and python notebooks gained lots of traction from just this type of simplicity.
If you were to write a "script" using the language, doing some things just top level is simple. Very pragmatic. I ALSO like that it's an error to call to any top level functions outside of this, so it keeps this from exploding complexity everywhere.
