No one who knew what they were talking about at Microsoft said F# was for mathematicians and engineers. It's a myth pushed by C# programmers and idiots. It's nonsense and you shouldn't repeat it.
People at Microsoft repeatedly said "Simple Code for Simple Problems". C# programmers don't like repeating that.
- MichaelGG 9y agoDoesn't matter if they didn't know what they're talking about, that was what was written on the Microsoft sites when comparing C#, VB, F#. F# was always pigeonholed into scientific and financial categories, never aimed at general code. I'm only repeating it to point out that MS itself did poor marketing for F#, clearly favouring C#.
- toyotaboy 9y agoMicrosoft didn't promote that idea. Some random people at Microsoft did, a very long time ago. Just forget about it and move on.
