Try F#. There is a VS Code plugin with about all the tooling you need. Fully supported by dotnet core, so you don't have to use it on Windows.

I am not a fan of VS Code. It feels clunky and slow. Also Rider's auto complete is much nicer and faster.

So I have considered F#, but it doesn't seem that compelling. Also it seems like the tooling is worse on other platforms.

A friend who uses vim says adding the vim plugin to VS Code makes it very fast. Just passing this on.
