F# is awesome, I wish I had jumped on it sooner. I find myself spending a lot less time writing code and a lot more time thinking. The .Net ecosystem is great.

- gagege 12y ago> I find myself spending a lot less time writing code and a lot more time thinking. That's exactly what I have found to be true as well. I spend practically all of my coding time implementing things rather than trying things. That has spilled over into my use of C#, JS and Python too. I'm hoping I can slowly introduce F# at work, until one day, a few years later we look at all our code and realize it's mostly F#.
- seanmcdirmid 12y agoI code to think. The only thing working against F# a bit is that C# isn't that bad of a language.

- lportion 12y agoI totally agree. However, there seems to be very few jobs for F# and I'd love to write use it on a daily basis. I've taken the advice of F# For Fun and Profit (http://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/series/low-risk-ways-to-use-fsharp-at-work.html http://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/series/low-risk-ways-to-use...) and started writing various tools in F#.
- dagw 12y agothere seems to be very few jobs for F# More and more places that use C# are opening up to using F# where it makes sense. So any time you see C# in a job description that sounds interesting it's worth asking about F#.
