I'm a big fan of F# as well. I haven't tried it outside of windows, on mono. I've always wondered how well supported mono was and what the library ecosystem was like (I could just google that, and probably will) Any personal experience with it? Right now I'm diving into haskell, partly because I want a static, type-inferred, functional language on linux (my home platform of choice) and partly because I like the idea of using a language that has really pure (functionally and generally) ideas it's trying to implement. Digging it a lot so far as well.

The performance on Mono is a bit less but I imagine it can do pure things just fine.

F# has a huge following on macs. The Xamarin guys drive it, and practically every major open source .Net library is available for mono. I haven't tested it on linux, but I've found it works pretty well on macs.

  The Seattle F# user group just had an event last night, and the first talk was 1 hour on how to create iOS apps with F# using Xamarin/Mac. If anyone is interested, a recording is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MriHEnq5MR4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MriHEnq5MR4

It's getting better and better. They even have an F# programmer working stuff at Xamarin now. Check this out: http://7sharpnine.com/posts/danger-unstable-structure/ http://7sharpnine.com/posts/danger-unstable-structure/
