Reading C# code makes me shudder. It is so hard to read with all the brackets, spacing, indentation levels, and overall verboseness. I honestly don't know how people do it.
F# can do OOP just as well if not better than C#, and F# is anywhere from 2-10 times more concise than C#.
That being said, the mistake of Microsoft was viewing F# as a competitor to and research lab for C# and the community for viewing and selling it as a replacement for C#.
What Microsoft and the community should have done is treated F# as a competitor and replacement for Python from the start.
- pjmlp 3y agoThat is what F# folks tried to pivot the language as of latest, only to be sidestepped yet again by Microsoft, when they hired Guido and managed to be the company that changed his mind regarding CPython optimizations. Also see the development effort Microsoft spends on Python across all their IDEs and what F# gets.
