I find nothing interesting in the original post to be honest. Just somebody that has a superficial impression about C# is complaining. Even the first 25 comments that I read are of no particular interest.
Meta: I wildly guess the HN post gets all the upvotes because initally people think that it will be about a google employee not allowed to use Lisp in google.
Yes, I also expected an official Google stance on using Lisp.
I am new to HN, but I think you should try to read posts before you vote them up. At least that is what I do, after clicking on the comments page. Often, HN comments are even more valuable than the article itself.

You seem to have read an article about someone complaining about C#.
The article I read was about someone complaining about not being allowed to use all the features in the language selected for the project.
Meta: That would be this post:

Which I think has been posted on HN before, Ron Garret's popped up a few times here, but it's still a great story.
