I actually wasn't sure as to F#'s independence; that's good to hear. Being free and open means it'll keep going even if MS gets bored with it, though it's mainly its 'first class' status with the MS tools (VS and .NET) that make me still think of it as an 'MS language' I guess, and also part of what excites me about it. I mostly use Windows and Windows Phone, so being able to write native Windows apps with a functional language is something I've been seeking for some time now.
