I’ve used it on osx and it runs great actually, and the Linux story is the same. The standard .NET libraries are obviously sharpened steel and the third party libs are fewer than say NPM but higher quality and address some of the missing pieces. Though again, the F# batteries are great and the .NET libs cover most if not all of your needs.
Check it out. You get sweet syntax, great compiler and tooling, and you won’t suffer things like nulls etc.
Also parallel and or concurrent work is a breeze since everything is immutable by default, and it makes it ugly to try to stick it to a mutable procedural or oop style.
I highly, highly, suggest you check it out. It’s the step child that Microsoft refuses to acknowledge in full force. But I think that story will change soon as they realize how GIANT the Python sector is and so F# is a great gateway drug into the .NET world.
edit:
By the way I used to hate on MSFT for the longest and I haven’t used Windows in over a decade. But F# is fire.
