I do mostly server-side stuff. Practically speaking, for the most part it means Linux programming. Unfortunately, .NET is still a second-class citizen under Linux. Yes, several people report they are using F# without problems under Linux, but I encountered several glitches in the past and don't feel like experimenting until things become more mature. I'm lucky enough to make the choice of the language myself, and I'd give F# a try, but after huge memory leaks and other problems with .NET on Linux a few years ago I got burned and would need a good argument to switch now. There are far better alternatives under Linux (both functional and non-functional)
- keithnz 9y agoF# seems quite popular in linux/mac using mono .NET, I was quite surprised in the F# forums how many didn't even use windows. I actually used my Mac for a lot of F# coding. But the new approach from MS for cross platform is .NET Core which (maybe next year as it seems a bit messy at the moment) will be a great cross platform choice.
