Conversely, though, is there any detraction from F# by not being a close member of that ecosystem? Mono and friends are not as mature or up to speed as the official .NET implementations, right? And CLR libraries and frameworks seem to target the Microsoft toolchain in general, as well. How easy is it to develop cross-platform F# and still take full advantage of all that?
This is an honest question, I've always been curious about the open-source CLR world. It seems like there's a much larger disconnect than there is with the JVM.
- opminion 14y agoI am also curious about the open source CLR world. It appears to be tainted by some weird "commercialism" which I find obvious yet difficult to explain. By the way, Mono has a C# interpreter and parser (Mono.CSharp, Mono.Cecil) which do (did?) not have a counterpart in .Net, so in that sense at least Mono diverges from .Net, rather than being behind.
