Thanks a lot for these infos! Unfortunately F# is .NET only. Linux requires Mono for installation which means a lot of dependencies. I prefer small efficient solutions (Nimrod for instance). OCaml works out of the box on my system.

Rare language has both .Net and JVM support, probably only Clojure now. On the upside you can build iOS and Android apps using F# plus many other gaming platforms.

  Clojure is far from the only language that supports both the JVM and CLR. I had a long reply ready, but I lost it. Off the top of my head the languages that have support on both (aside from Clojure) are; Python, Ruby, JavaScript, Java (though J# is being depreciated), Scheme, Common Lisp, PHP, Perl 6, Prolog, Pascal, Ada. I might be missing some.

    That's impressive, but I kind of dismissed some of them as scripting languages.

OCaml is nice too, it's just not for me. If you like OCaml you should definitely check out Mirage OS, it will fit into your small efficient systems ethos nicely... http://www.openmirage.org/ http://www.openmirage.org/
