So I learned F# and C# in parallel. But more emphasis on F# than on C#, and so when I landed my first dev job on C# I was so incredibly baffled at the code base. I would toss my arms up in shock at the sight of reference types or classes being passed around and updated from external methods. The horror! How could somebody do this.

Anyway, now I have come to learn it is just another way of doing things but my C# programming style is heavily influenced by a more functional style. I never realised till I actually landed a job where I had to interact with more standard OOP principles.

I wish there was a way I could do more F# at my work.

I learned C# (and OOP in general) first, and then made the switch to F# (and FP in general). F# does a great job combining the two paradigms, IMHO, and is a pleasure to work with. I hope I never have to go back to C# (although they keep adding new FP features to it in every release, so it's not as bad as it used to be).

I use it instead of Powershell for my own scripts.
