Hear this man. I'd love to use F# significantly more often than I do, but Mono and monodevelop are super worse than the official Microsoft alternatives. Once MS brings complete tooling over to mac, linux and the BSDs, that's a gamechanger.

What about Visual Studio Code? Runs on Linux and there's an F# plugin.

  VSCode's F# support is extremely limited. Since F# is still statically typed but uses type inference to limit annotations trying to work without a proper IDE instead of a basic text editor can get really annoying.

    It's not as high fidelity as Visual F# in Visual Studio, but Ionide[0] is a great option for writing code in Visual Studio Code or Atom. [0]: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/Ionide.Ionide-fsharp https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/Ionide.Ionide-fsh...

      I was referencing Ionide, unfortunately. Maybe it's improved in the last month since I used it, but everything but basic syntax highlighting barely worked.

    There is Ionide, an atom based plugin for F#, which should work on nix and BSD.
