| I've had nothing but great experience with F#. If it wasn't associated with Microsoft, it'd be more popular than haskell |

| I think if it weren't a 'first class' member of .NET ecosystem[0], no one would know F#. After all Haskell and Ocaml already exist. [0]: my very charitable take, as MS obviously cares C# much much more than F#. |

| ▲ | pjmlp 6 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Management has always behaved as if they repent having added F# to VS 2010, at least it hasn't yet suffered the same stagnation as VB, even C++/CLI was updated to C++20 (minus modules). In any case, those of us that don't have issues with .NET, or Java (also cool to hate these days), get to play with F# and Scala, and feel no need to be amazed with Rust's type system inherited from ML languages. It is yet another "Rust but with GC" that every couple of months pops up in some forums. | | | |
