I was introduced to F# 3 years ago at work, and have been developing with it for more than 2 of those years (in production, some apps mixed with C#, others pure F#)

My quick thoughts: Beautiful language. There's quite a bit of a learning curve for some of the more advanced features, but a large portion of the language is very readable and succinct Additionally, I love how the language has helped me become a better developer. Far fewer bug, and none of them are null-related After my former lead left, I've had difficulty introducing new teammates to the language. It's hard to convince C# devs to try it out I've been looking around for a long time, but there seem to be very few teams that are hiring F#. It doesn't help that many aggregate job posting sites fail to show useful results when searching for "F#" Negatives aside, I really enjoy programming in F# and if you were on the fence, I'd say to give it a try!
