I'm in the same boat as far as dream languages go. But just out of curiosity, what is it about F# or Scala that you don't like? For me Scala is an amazing language that sacrificed what could have been a clean design for the sake of Java interop, while inheriting a bunch of the baggage of the Java ecosystem (no closures until recently, type erasure, needless boxing, etc). And F# is still a windows-first ecosystem, as much as they would like to tell you otherwise. I'm currently using both, and while I like both of them well enough, I can't ever shake the feeling like I'm missing out on something better.
- jallmann 12y ago> what is it about F# or Scala that you don't like Haven't used either, so giving an opinion on those wouldn't be fair.

You'd probably like OCaml, considering how F# is basically "OCaml for .NET". And it definitely cannot be accused of having a "Windows-first" ecosystem.
