You do know that fsharp is a pretty big deal for Microsoft and is shipped as part of Visual Studio, one of their biggest products, right?

If it's hard to figure out, it does not sounds too straight forward.

To be honest, I'm pretty tired of the "You can do a lot without hitting the scaling problems.".

I hear it all the time. Of course, if you don't have a scaling problem you don't. But when you have, you need a solution to it.

No it doesn't. "In terms of automatic failover, it is currently not part of the core project".

I want to be able to scale out by adding more machines. I want to be able to failover automatically to another data center when the first one goes down. I have yet to see a straight forward way to accomplish this with PG. Their wiki lists a bunch of tools related to this but they are either abandoned or does not cover this as far as I can tell. I can't understand all the positive I read about PG..

That does not have automatic failover. I really want to use Postgres at work but every time I start reading about failover, load balancing, sharding and so on it seems like such a mess with PG.

I just want sharding with automatic failover to separate datacenter in a simple package...

I bought a Samsung E2370 as a hiking phone for 70USD. The usual one-day battery time is no good if you plan to hike for weeks. According to the specs it has 90 day standby. According to the web site its only 65 (not sure why it differs).When I had it idling on my desk I had to charge it after 70 days. I guess this is what you get with a modern bulky battery if you just scale down on features.

Neither is this. Page says it works on all platforms but when I try the code editor on my Windows Phone 8, it's clear that it does not. Page scrolls to weird locations when I just type. I typed Hello and some second later text was scrolled out of visibility. Spent a few minutes just trying to type, but it really does not work. (This was typed on same phone without weird scrolling...)

Most of this is documented since start. Did you actually read the docs?

That is just FUD im my opinion. I havent har any issues with getting my applications working on multiple platforms. Have you har performance issues with C# on IOS?

I run C# in production on Mac OSX, IOS and Android phones. What do you mean by Windows only?
