I agree here.

It seems like they took some of the concepts of what can be done in F# and made TypeScript. I wish they had just stuck with F#.
It's almost like it was marketing, like they didn't like how F# was viewed so TypeScript was a re-branding.
Maybe it is because TypeScript can be considered a DSL that could be built by F#. Like Elmish.
EDIT> Yeah, not sure if enough people understand F#. You can easily build TypeScript from F#. Or maybe the downvotes are from Haskell people that just view, a functional language can build anything so it isn't worth commenting on.
