F#, Microsoft's FUNCTIONAL programming language, can not be used to write Azure FUNCTIONS? You can even see them borrowing from F# with the .csx files for writing C# functions. I'm a constantly dumbfounded at the way Microsoft neglects this wonderful language.

We had to make some tough scoping calls, but we are actively working on full F# support, based on our C# implementation. You can use F#, but right now it is pretty basic. Check out this sample which you can also deploy via the portal (experimental category): https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-templates/tree/master/Templates/QueueTrigger-FSharp https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-templates/tree/ma... Thanks for the feedback!

  Slight correction, F# support is broken right now. But its being fixed as we speak :) https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-script/pull/203 https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-script/pull/203

  Ignore my earlier comment, we pushed out some fixes. There is a working F# template in the experimental category. However please note that the performance is not great right now, you'll pay a startup cost of invoke fsi.exe per function invocation. It will get better!
