I think you got downvoted because although your comment is plausible enough in isolation, it does not have anything to do with the thread it is attached to (even though you yourself are the originator of the thread). ADDED. You don't seem to share my preference for conversations that stay focused on one topic. Over and out.

There’s nothing to say a DSL can’t be a full language. Just that it is designed for and generally used in a specific domain. I don’t think MS ever intended or claimed F# would be the new C# - it is very clearly aimed at a particular niche. And there’s nothing wrong with that! Nor would any F# user see their language as a rival or competitor to C# or Python or Java or anything else.

  If F# is a domain specific language, which domain is it specific to? Hint: Functional programming isn't a domain.
