alt Hacker News> I considered something like F# but I didn't like that it's tied to microsoft/.NET.
Could you explain your thought process when deciding to not use F# because it runs on top of .NET? (both of which are open-source, and .NET is what makes F# fast and usable in almost every domain)
I am genuinely curious too. .NET is a very mature, very performant runtime, and I think of F#, a beautiful, productive language, running on it a big pro. Perhaps things used to be different about/regarding Microsoft?
