I tried F# when we were building out a scraper at a startup. After a bit, I realized that must of the things could also be done in C# and ended up using C# instead because it's just a bit more accessible. F# looks neat, but C# has a lot of parity at this point on some of the core selling points IMO.

C# can't fix the wrong defaults, still lots more mutable by default, and statement oriented, as an example.

average C# codebase looks different depending language version idioms, not so in F# (because initial release already had >80% of things that C# today doesn't even have and won't be able to fix).

But C# is great too, nonetheless.
