You forgot: - It's very easy to hire / train C# developers. Finding someone with a decent amount of F# experience is much more rare, at least in my area.

- dgudkov 10y agoFrom my experience it takes only 2-3 weeks for a C# developer to start writing F# code in the same imperative style as he/she used to in C#. That's the beauty of non-pure functional (aka functional-first) languages like F# and OCaml -- you can start writing imperative code and then gradually introduce functional patterns as you learn them.
- kemiller2002 10y agoI have found this to be true. All my developers can at least program some F#. Some are better than others, but all can do it. Before I started, no one on the team knew F# and were a little hesitant to use it. Even the majority of the interns I had programmed it too. The biggest problem with adoption is fear / apathy.
