Have you tried F# on .NET Core? People seem to be quite happy with F# on .NET Core compared with Mono, at least for server/web/cloud programming. Data science-y stuff is our next target, starting with finishing out our REPL support for .NET Core. It's not fully functional (turns out it's a ton of work!), but when completed it'll have support for ingesting packages in a REPL session, and it'll work with libraries such as ML.NET.

I really like a lot of F#, but it is really difficult for those of us with limited .NET experience (Python, R...etc experience here). There are several F# books, but it's all a bit above me. If you are an F# evangelist, please consider spreading that idea around. Maybe an updated tryFsharp.org would help. Not just REPL snippets either but how to put things together. I appreciate everything the open source community does btw. It is just a little frustrating that there is a really cool language and ecosystem that I'm only making glacial progress in.

  "F# for scientists" by Jon Harrop is awesome especially if one comes from a less computer sciency background. It shows exactly how to use F# effectively in a numerical context.
