I'm currently new to this too and just doing some smaller experiments with F# but reasons for me would be: - Powerful tooling with IDE, Debugger, Packet Managers, Build system - Access to the whole .NET ecosystem - Powerful concurrency and parallelism constructs - relatively easy to reason about. If you don't know how to build something functionally you can still build things in a C#-like way because mutability and strict evaluation is there. - I like the very concise and yet good to understand syntax. The type interference is great.
