Long article. Good stuff for those looking to make a similar change though.
I remain a fan of F# on Mono. Love the FP paradigm, love all the easily accessible libraries, and love that it's all free.
Scala would probably be a close second choice for a development shop, though. I personally would move towards pure FP with Haskell or Erlang, but staffing becomes too much of an issue to scale that out. I don't think they have that issue with Scala.

- DanielBMarkham 13y agoI'm still collecting data on this. Along with how dev practices scale out in a purely functional environment. I try to stay ahead of the game on these things. If I'm still collecting data, either I'm missing some major sources or the overall market isn't ripe for it yet.
