That's the beauty of it - F# is now a peer of C# and VB.NET. There's no reason whatsoever for organizations to shy away from it - it's mainstream now. Whereas even tho' it's a very similar language, I can understand why a PHB would balk at OCaml.

  It's an anecdote but I've had 2 PHBs that wouldn't accept C# in a "VB.NET" environment.

    Just look 'em right in the eye and say "dot Net". Works every time.
