Curious about what one of your typical "practical exercises" looks like?
I'm not a great fan of f# (it's not rational - but every time I've tried to dip my toes, something in the syntax has felt... Tedious? In a way that for example StandardML does not). But it still seems like an eminently powerful and pragmatic language, so I'm surprised by your experience.
