Can you point me to instructions for this setup? I'd love to try F# (having dabbled in Haskell) on macOS, but I keep getting the feeling that F# really needs Visual Studio to shine... which is a feeling which may or may not be accurate.

brew install mono brew cask install visual-studio-code once you are in vscode, install ionide: http://ionide.io http://ionide.io You are ready to script (or more) with a great / lightweight editor.

  Spacemacs[0] with its F# layer enabled is also painless to set up, if that's more your cup of tea: http://blog.nikosbaxevanis.com/2015/04/25/fsharp-on-emacs-with-spacemacs/ http://blog.nikosbaxevanis.com/2015/04/25/fsharp-on-emacs-wi... [0] http://spacemacs.org/ http://spacemacs.org/

If you don't want to use mono and want to use MS's new cross-platform version of the .NET Framework, you can use .NET Core [1] (then follow the sibling's advice on using VSCode and Ionide) [1] https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#macos https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#macos

I followed the section called "Getting Started with F# 4.1 on .NET Core" in the post. Worked well for me. YMMV ofc.
