I wanna see what F# is about, especially now that I am better at FP&Lip. But the Microsoft thing really puts me off. I’m on Linux, I can’t use CLR, I don’t wanna make a WPF application or whatever — so why would I use F#?

    You’ve made some incorrect statements and assumptions. The old .net framework was/is Windows only but the new(er) dotnet Core is cross platform, you can use the clr on Linux no prob.

      It’s worth noting that Microsoft have dropped the Core thing and now it’s only .NET + number (8 is the latest for now)
