I'm a big fan of F# as it has a huge company and ecosystem behind it. That said OCaml is where most of the language ideas came from. Much of what makes F# is owed to OCaml.

- sidkshatriya 4y ago> F# as it has a huge company and ecosystem behind it Indeed, F# has the might of Microsoft behind it. Yet, to me, that carries some risk in itself. In the future, Microsoft might decide for some reason that F# is not aligned to its goals and say, it wants to invest in C# exclusively or decrease emphasis on F#. Then what happens? OCaml is more resilient in a sense it is more "community" owned and run. Companies (contributing to OCaml) keep coming to (or leaving) OCaml. F# has all its eggs with Microsoft.
