I'm no expert, but I have the impression that F# has a strong type system, being an ML variant (perhaps sacrificing a bit for CLR compatibility). I'm a big fan of Clojure and a dabbler in OCaml/Haskell, and I feel that F# has a lot to offer in terms of library access, same as Clojure/Scala for the JVM. In any case, I'm certainly happy its there in case I ever have occasion to work with .NET.
