I'm doing F# from 2 years ago ONLY on OSX. Use .NET core & xamarin currently. So far I can do a fairly complex project with dozen of external libraries, for iOS/Android/WebAPI with PostgreSQL, Sqlite. Deploy with docker on Ubuntu.
Today I say F# is good enough on *nix.
Also doing a little of Rust but the productivity with F# is far higher (you need to ramp up on Rust for a while!)
- christophilus 8y agoLast I checked, F# on Mac still requires mono for development, its repl is super janky, and its tooling is all over the map. Have things improved in those areas in the last year or so?
- mamcx 8y agoMono is required, but all my libs are on .NET Core now, so is only as part of the deal. I use Visual Studio Mac. The repl is not great, even on windows. F# is not the kind of language for a great repl experience, imho. I rarely use the repl anyway (the only one I use regulary is the python one)
