I completely disagree that F# is for C# developers. For one, C# developers are usually fine sticking with C# and its massive ecosystem. F# and .NET more seamlessly run everywhere than Ocaml, which last time I tried is a lot of trouble on Windows. F# has had multicore support from the beginning and hasn’t needed a multi-year development process to get there. I’d like to learn Ocaml (more than just the parts I’ve learned from F# and SML), but F# is by no means a simplistic language in terms of what you can accomplish. It’s easily one of the best designed and most pragmatic languages out there. From the syntax I have seen, F# is cleaner than Ocaml. > F# is an ML dialect, like OCaml That’s kind of splitting hairs. The object system is different for obvious reasons. F# clearly started as a port of a subset of Ocaml to .NET and was even valid Ocaml code for some time in the early days. That’s exactly a dialect.
