The love for F# is justified because it's really a clean language with a well-defined core library.
The one bad thing about it is that the documentation is really insufficient and confusing to people who don't already know .NET. If this improves it will definitely be welcome be more devs and companies.
- KurtMueller 6y agoI've spent the past 3 months or so working with F# with zero .net experience - I love the language alot but yeah, you will eventually end up learning C# (not that that's a bad thing) if you want to use its extensive and powerful ecosystem. If you look at the MS documentation for .net, none of the examples are in F#. I guess that's okay since it probably wouldn't be idiomatic F#... but still, the docs have examples in C#, VBA, and one other language (I think it might be C) but no examples in F#.
