alt Hacker NewsUnion is almost a net positive to C# in my opinion.
But I do agree. C# is heading to a weird place. At first glance C# looks like a very explicit language, but then you have all the hidden magical tricks: you can't even tell if a (x) => x will be a Func or Expression[0], or if a $"{x}"[1] will actually be evaluated, without looking at the callee's signature.

In the places where that is a thing, I've never needed to care. (Which is kind of the point)
From the PoV of someone who uses C# every day those are very strange things to be upset about.
