F# is a great language. I just wish it compiled as fast as OCaml or even anywhere near as fast. I also wish it produced a single static binary, though I guess this is now possible in .NET? It’s been a while since I toyed with it.
You can produce a single file binary, with the caveat it includes the entire .NET runtime, which leads to massive build artifacts. Though it is better than no support at all I suppose
That is no different than in languages like D or Go, the runtime comes along.
