I honestly don't think there much wrong or a problem with F#
I do follow F# somehow, and compared to other languages .. it actually seem to have a very pragmatic and active community
The F# community build a lot of interesting frameworks, suave, websharper, type providers ... to name a few
I dont think, anything will look popular, when compared to Java , C# or Python .. but compare it to Haskell, Ocaml, Clojure.. Dart, D, Nim .. and the plethora of languages that compile to javascript , and you will see F# is not doing so bad
- systems 9y agoI will just make one criticism ... it is sadly somewhat awkward to install F# even on windows and they do need a good ide if you go to the F# .org site, installing F# without installing visual studio, is a 4 step process .. and when I tried it on windows 7 it just didnt work for me i eventually gave up and install visual studio on linux, thing seems better, but .. still missing a solid ide
- talyian 9y agoThe first class IDE for F# is VS Code + Ionide. The language service backend for F# is also very well supported for emacs.
- TensorMetric 9y agoThe first-class IDE for F# is the full Visual Studio, not VS Code + Ionide.
- toyotaboy 9y agoVS Code is now recommended by Microsoft for F# + .NET Core. Get with it, you're behind the times.
- TensorMetric 9y agoIt's only recommended temporarily, until the issues get ironed out. It doesn't make it THE first-class F# IDE.
