Despite Microsoft shipping F# support in their main IDE, pretty much no one uses it Actually, it's fairly popular in the analytics-type world. Can you name one popular library which switched from C# to F#? That doesn't even makes sense. Compare that to e. g. Scala: Huge amount of adoption compared to F#, despite _not_ shipping with any IDE by default. One of the most popular Java web frameworks switched from Java to Scala recently. There hasn't been huge amounts of adoption...not even close. You're confusing blogosphere hype to real numbers. Even the F# “elite” is aware of it and complaining about how Scala has a a lot higher adoption (and a larger ecosystem and more developers, libraries, conferences, user groups, support, ...), so I'm a bit surprised by your statement. Now you're just making things up.
