well i mean there's all this stuff i vaguely see about .NET Core not being as good as the offering on windows but that eventually it will be? i don't know C# but i'm interested. i guess i'm just wondering if i should make the leap to starting to learn it even though i develop solely on linux.

F# works well on Mono, well enough to start learning/developing on until .NET Core gets to real production-grade status on Linux. (I've only toyed with .NET Core on Mac/Linux - it worked well enough for some simple stuff - but haven't tried to run any heavy apps on it yet.)

We (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13541679#up_13548091) use F# in Linux and works very well.

It works very well, it's partly about microsoft ditching a lot of dependency on windows and giving open source developers what they have had for a while with ruby/python/java (think gem packages, ability to run build tasks etc easily via a command line interface) etc.

I recently converted an asp.net web app to dotnet core and was able to run it via nginx to the in built kestrel web server the only problem I had was connecting to an MS SQL server named instance.

About .net core and F#, see wiki https://github.com/dotnet/netcorecli-fsc/wiki/.NET-Core-SDK-... for info

Debugging in vscode is coming soon (before rtm), works already in dev version
