That may well be true, but that’s irrelevant for many developers (e.g., me) writing things like data analysis tools and backend services in F#.

- bonesss 9y agoI'd go a step further: F# being slightly slow on the uptake of new shiney-shiney-shiney things from MS means you're less likely to hit solutions based on dead product lines and/or tech. A slight moderation in speed to avoid wasteful oscillations. I'm glad that the F# community uses its time making generalized cloud computing easier and more accessible and has smart data streaming solutions. I care 0% about windows platform apps, along with most of the world (given the sales and user stats). Not to mention: since you can always use C# and VB.Net as "glue code" with F# libraries behind that, you're generally only locked out of _pure_ F# solutions if you wanna play with the newest toys. It's bad for consultants who need 5 years experience in 3 day old tech to sell themselves. It's good business for companies trying to build value and not try to stick with technical fashion-trends for no reason.
