F# was inspired more by Ocaml than Haskell I think? Ocaml also takes a more practical approach to allowing side effects etc.

- StreamBright 6y agoYes, and I think this is why it wins. Practical implications matter the most for end users. I like OCaml too. However, F# has way more libraries, and I think it is easier to get buy-in from all sorts of developers, at least this is my experience.
- dunefox 6y agoF# makes it possible to work with unicode strings, as opposed to Ocaml, which is huge.
