I'd love to use F# in production on a Linux/Mac OS environment. I find the tooling to be problematic and quite hacky on these platforms. In the same time the library ecosystem around manipulating PDF/Word/XLSX documents, CPU/GPU math accelerated libraries, machine learning, stats, charts and DB connectors are not that mature and production ready.
If you just stay withing the F# and .NET core library ecosystem then it's fine. I'd need more support for the ecosystem to be able to fully switch from scala to F# for production. I'm so looking forward to having Microsoft get the full .NET to Linux.
- nobleach 9y agoI have been feeling this way for quite awhile. I never want to detract from anyone's hard work, but I simply hate Mono. I hate having to fool around with it to get something else to work. When MS released C# for .net-core, I was extremely pleased. I'm not a big MS fan, but C# is really good! Being able to run it on Linux is a great step forward. I know MS has a roadmap to get F# going, so I'll be anxiously waiting.
