I think the community plays a more important role in what they want for F#.
First there was a focus for Fable and targeting frontend, and now you can target Python and potentially use F# there instead of Python.
But the community is interested in a lot of things, so F# doesn't have a real "singular" focus, like Go(backend systems/api's).
F#'s ties with Microsoft is a big productivity boon, but also seems to work against it sometimes...still the community really gets stuff done instead, because it's such a practical language!
- pjmlp 4y agoSometimes I get the feeling management is not so sure that accepting the F# integration into VS 2010 was such a good idea, and every now and then, tries to figure out between C#, VB, C++/CLI, what are they supposed to do with F# as well.
