F# deserves more love in their communication. Definitely. F# appeals to many, however, from a product management perspective (aka MS perspective) there is a ratio of 100 C# dev to 1 F# devs (MS showed statistics once on it).
Also, F# is community owned to my understanding (up to the statement of a MS Research Employee and F# inventor Don Syme to say that the "Microsoft." prefix on ASP.NET Core are not open source community friendly) while C# is 100% design & developed by MS.
Which - IMHO - makes it very delicate for Microsoft to communicate well here.
- pjmlp 6y agoThey also have a few high profile personalities that are pretty much into the "us vs them" towards C# developers and Microsoft, which turns off many enterprise developers to even bother with F#.
