  >>F# >essentially vendor locked to windows If you by "essentially" mean "not at all". You've been able to run F# on Mono for ages, and now you can run it on either Mono or .NET Core.

    > You've been able to run F# on Mono for ages But you wouldn't want to, because for a very long time Mono was horribly buggy, and no library or application cared for supporting it. It may be better now in terms of .Net itself, I am not sure how it looks like in terms of community support for non-windows usage.

    i have a running f#/mono environment on this computer. on my other computer i cannot get it to work. things like this https://stackoverflow.com/a/41578645/6767912 https://stackoverflow.com/a/41578645/6767912 and this https://github.com/NuGet/Home/issues/2880 https://github.com/NuGet/Home/issues/2880 tells me it's not production ready (yes i've even tried compiling mono from source).
