It's in an early stage but the Saturn [1] project is aiming to compete with Phoenix more directly. The owner is a fairly prolific F# open source contributor and presented it at NYC F# last month but that's about all I know about it.

- Rapzid 8y agoThat's fantastic! I gave F# a look right after MS announced dotnet was being open source and have been excited for it's "arrival" ever since. The pieces seem to be coming together, albeit very slowly.. * "Official" Cross platform support -> dotnet core FTW! * Cross-IDE intellisense support -> Ionide, Check! * Dotnet core support -> Check, finally(and make sure to set Ionide to use core)! * F# to javascript cross compilation project with some traction -> Fable, check(Fable needs serious documentation help though)! * A great framework competing head on with Phoenix -> Hopefully soon :) The potential just seems sooo massive. Hopefully it blows up quicker than Haskell ;)
- sasmithjr 8y agoI started looking at F# because of .NET Core, and I'm really liking it. I currently use Giraffe in a project, but I'll be switching it to Saturn soon (which uses Giraffe under the hood). And I've identified a potential use case for using Fable on some already written server-side code. Ionide is great, Neptune (F# debugger for VSCode) works well, and they both are maintained by the same person as Saturn. Rider also works pretty well with F#, which is nice if you prefer the JetBrains IDEs.
