I wouldn't say a tiny bit more:
var f = x => x + 1 is illegal).new int[] { 1,2,3,4 } instead of [1,2,3,4].params keyword instead of splat, lack of str[1:-1], etc. all add up.Most of its verbosity comes from its historical lack of type inference and its lack of higher-kinded polymorphism. The C heritage adds the minority of it, I'd say.
Also, Markdown seems to require that the asterisks used to form lists don't have any whitespace in front of them. How intuitive.
