Agree, F# is my go-to language for personal projects and client libs at work when I can get away with it. You can't beat the combination of the expressive power of F# with the entire .NET/ASP.NET (Giraffe) ecosystem underneath it

I’ve never felt that time spent in a static simulator translates to real world car control at all. It does, but you have to be intentional about recognizing the deficits, similar to how you can only get so much takeoff + landing training
