I tried to learn FP by doing a project with F# but I felt like I was writing C# code with a different syntax. I would like to give FP another go with a purely functional language but then you also need libraries that enforce that approach. The .Net framework will always lead you to an OO approach.

What I found is that it took me about three tries to actually grasp functional programming. My first F# project started out the same way yours did. It was really OO in an F#. Once I looked at it, I started to realize that it was not the language, but my approach and changed it to fit the FP approach.
