F# can be a nice language even if you don't care for the functional paradigm.

Discriminated Unions and pattern mactching still come in handy, the syntax is still less verbose, there is less biolerplate/ceremony than in C# where everything has to be in a class.

it is easier to pass a function to a function than in C#

inlining functions is easier

the type inference can be useful in various ways.

if/then/else statements being expressions is extremely nice.

I tend to code in a mostly imperative style, even in F#. I understand it better, it usually performs better.
