I used F# for a time and ended up disliking it. The syntax is poor IMO and some bits are quite quirky. I love using Clojure though for functional programming. Most of F#s ideas come from the Lisp world anyway, but they also tried to shoehorn on a type system. It doesn't work that nicely in the end, and I don't think you get the full power of functional programming because of it.
- UK-AL 9y agoF# is basically .NET Ocaml which relies heavily on its type system. I wouldn't compare it to LISP, except for that its functional. it seems to me you're just not a fan of static type checking.
