Could anybody tell me why somebody would prefer mochi over f#? Granted its not dynamically typed but it has strong type inference.

It's written and supports python fully (see flask snippet and source). The code was definitely an interesting read. Really cool and well done OP.

My only gripe is that unfortunately the reverse isn't true (you can't 'mochi' in python). I wonder how much could be achieved with a 'Dynamic functional programming for humans' type thing that stays pure python.

It compiles to AST, so he could just do the same we did in Hy, write a import hook and stuff the compiled AST back as an module. Then python should be able to use mochi without many limitations.
