I think F# in the context of C# replacement (as a superior language) is not worth it. If you have a team looking for a functional language on .NET it's amazing - so I don't dismiss it - it's just a very niche thing on .NET pl

I haven't been in .NET for a couple of years but I've worked on quite a few .NET projects over the years. I've seen F# being added to 3 (as far as I can remember), in completely different companies/teams/contexts -

I would say ORM is tough with code gen or with metaprogramming because it maps two mismatched paradigms (OOP and relational) and tries to paper over the differences. I do agree on the debugging aspect - especially in dynamic languages - met

Even there I feel like code generators are just a band aid around the fact that metaprogramming facilities suck. If you would never modify the generated code why generate in the first place. You could argue that stack traces are easier to f
