In my opinion Microsoft should focus more on base tools for F#, such as Roslyn, integration with dotnet core, etc. Integration with Visual Studio is nice, but if the language is to be adopted in hacker circles, without major Microsoft investment, it needs to provide very solid and flexible tools on top of which the community can build awesome things. Example of small things Microsoft can help with: as far as I can see Nuclide doesn't work with dotnet core (only Mono). Throwing 1-2 devs that way would pay good dividends, in my opinion. |

I don't know anything about Nuclide, but if they want to work with dotnet core, they should look into working with omnisharp-roslyn[0]. VS Code[1] and Atom[2] both have extensions that work with it.

I think there's already work underway for F# support for dotnet core[6].
As far as F# support for editors go, have a look at ionide[4]. They only have extensions for VS Code and Atom at the moment.

Have you seen omnisharp[5]? If so, what's missing from that?
