I think maybe you stepped out of .net at the wrong time. Pattern matching, records, discriminated unions (c# 10) etc are here and on they way. Lots of functional features being integrated into C# with every update.

I'm using new c#/.net core professionally and I still think it's far less productive than elixir/phoenix in general. Also c#'s pattern matching is nothing when compared to elixir ones. They are very different languages though and that's fine, most people are familiar with OO, not with FP so for them, it might be more productive(at least in certain types of applications).

I’ve been using C# since 2003, but I’m still 5 times faster in typescript & react.

Besides that the typescript type system is insane. It’s cool to hear about discriminated unions though.

The more haste, the less speed! Yeah, I get ya. Love me some typescript.
