I don't really get the OOP arguments from Anders. You don't need to do OOP stuff in C# - just write a bunch of static functions if you want. However, I totally get the AOT aspect. Creating a simple cli app meant for wide distribution in .NET isn't great because you either have to ship the runtime or try to use AOT which is very much a step out. I have come to the same conclusion and used Go on some occasions for the same reason despite not knowing it very well.

If doing a web server, on the other hand, these things wouldn't matter at all as you would be running a container anyway.
