I use F# to generate static pages. This allows me to completely decouple the back-end from the display. I don't have interactivity yet, but I really don't see a need to add a framework to get it. F# and mono allows me to shoot for brutal simplicity. I like that. Many times projects that might be huge monstrocities in other languages turn out to be just a few well-coded modules running as Unix-y microservices in F#.
People are starting to give F# a lot of love as a .NET language, then wondering "Where's the framework?" I'm coming around to the conclusion that it works best when there is no framework. Fun times ahead.

I'm coming around to the conclusion that it works best when there is no framework. Yes, in F# and other ML-like languages you tend to use libraries more than frameworks. (I'm the original poster, and I've been extolling the virtues of ML-style functional programming throughout this thread, but I still owe you an email explaining why I think OOP is ultimately better than FP)
