I think that the problem is that:
- fsharp's big selling point is that it runs on dotnet
- most FP ideologues run screaming from M$, and there are other, better (subjectively), more-active FP langs that do many of the same things, such as OCaml and Haskell
- most dotnet shops are "csharp or die" and getting fsharp adoption is more or less an impossible task for cultural reasons
I support fsharp and generally like it, but I'm not reaching for it for net-new stuff that doesn't already have a dependency on dotnet. $0.02.
- fsloth 4y ago"most FP ideologues run screaming from M$" This can be also a blessing that makes the F# community quite pragmatic rather than dogmatic :) FP makes pragmatic sense, it's not an ideological concept.
