F# is such a great language.
The fact Microsoft seems to pretend it doesn't exist is bewildering. Surely the .Net ecosystem can have two languages being promoted.

It is really not having a clue what purpose they want for F#, I bet they have repented to ship it on VS2010.
First it was for libraries only, then during the VS Express days it was for Web development, now they are trying to pivot it into data analysis and ML, while DevDiv manages to bring Guido out of retirement and finally manages to pursuade CPython core team about improving its performance.
F# is beyond microsoft, a lot of early adopters are still there.
What are the fruits of that increased team on the VS, VS4Mac and VSCode tooling, and .NET SDKs?
I very much feel this, I found it productive, but it feels like a complete ghost town. I'm considering swapping to Go over using .NET for tooling/scripting.
