Don't worry, each new version of C# gets more features from F# and Scala, this year we will get more syntax sugar and an extensible compiler (with proper IDE support - unlike F#): https://roslyn.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Language%20Feature%20Status&referringTitle=Home https://roslyn.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Language%20Featur... . They will add pattern matching and maybe something more interesting in the version after that. There aren't too many practical reasons to pick F# over C# today and soon there will be even less. Lesson to learn: don't pick *ML language as a foundation. I am glad that Scala is evading F#'s academic fate.
