F# has always been a research/community project, that's why the tooling isn't up to scratch with c# and VB.

This signals F# is becoming more of a core language with better tool integration, but is keeping its community driven roots.

I really hope you are right. The tooling around F# is the only reason it doesn't explode in popularity.

If Microsoft starts to treat it as a first class citizen with respect to their .NET Core direction, then the future is very bright.

I hope so as well. I love F# but using it in a corporate environment is hard due to its second tier status.
