"As far as I can tell F# is one of those things where every single user is extremely happy" Isn't it because language has rather small community of passionate people, who are devoted to their language of choice?
F# popularity is somewhere between CHILL, Clipper and Raku langs, that are probably as obscure as F# for typical software dev.
- psychoslave 2y agoI know Raku from Perl fame, and F# because it’s Microsoft, but CHILL and Clipper are totally new to me, so in my own humble experience these two latter look far more obscure. :D
- orthoxerox 2y agoClipper is old. It's dBase/xBase/FoxPro, pre-SQL DBMSs.
- int_19h 2y agoI'm pretty sure that there's more production code written in F# than in all those other three combined.
- DeathArrow 2y agoIf we consider number of jobs, it's probably on par with Rust.
