Seeking Language Project to Join
Admittedly, knowledge is a little scattered, we juggle it between the specs/ideas repo and our Discord server (our main way of communicating currently). There are a few examples in the Ideas/Specs repo. A contributor has also proposed starting to work on an interactive tutorial, since we can run the compiler and editor in web, we might do that to collect all stable capabilities of the language soon.

Unpopular opinion maybe but C# is getting too bloated
Absolutely. And one guy's already working on that, I hope it will one day become a reality. [Link](https://github.com/LanguageDev/Fresh-Language-suggestions)

Building a new .NET language, doing to C# what Kotlin did to Java
I've written 2 issues closely related to my opinions on C#. One is a general collection (this), one is a journey through the version history (here).

Unpopular opinion maybe but C# is getting too bloated
There's also boo-lang which was quite nice for DSLs / configuration.

QuasiLiterals
An age ago I used to be a huge fan of the Boo programming language, a .NET runtime language that was vaguely python-ic.
One of the great features I loved was it's metaprogramming capabilities. Among others, like E, the quasi-parser was easy to reach for & use at runtime. The tests are a good way to see Boo features, here's a quasi-quote test, which uses a Quasi-quote to get some code, then adds to that AST imperatively: https://github.com/boo-lang/boo/blob/master/tests/testcases/...
