It might be worth also looking into ReasonML, which is a very similar language, but gets some of F# issues right, like:
- Targeting native compilation and javascript transpilation out of the box
- Proper functionally architected libraries
- (including React and React-native for GUIs)
- Ocaml style functors
- Easy syntax for people who are familiar with javascript
- Prime-time promotion by a large company (Facebook)
- Targeting unikernels (i.e. MirageOS) makes it geek/buzzword compliant
The only downside for ReasonML right now I guess is that the tooling and developer experience (especially on Windows) is nowhere near to what F# / .Net core / VS Code+Ionide already offers on all platforms (Win/OSX/Linux).
