Do you have a specific snippet in mind which demonstrates the issue? It is likely more of a team or a community issue when it comes to writing unreadable code than a language one since it tends to happen in every sufficiently powerful language. C# did not “have to absorb every idea from F#”. This is not how programming language development works. You can read LDM notes at https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/discussions?discussions_q=is%3Aopen+LDM https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/discussions?discussions... and specs are documented in the repo. > rather than making F# a viable programming language F# is a viable language aside from using specific few libraries that don’t play with it nicely or around writing ref struct heavy code. I’m not sure what makes you think it is not. In comparison, it is probably more viable for shipping products than Scala, Clojure, OCaml and Haskell.
