For data science and anything with a demanding domain model I find F# streets ahead of C#.

For a project like this, though, the type F# providers are a bit of a game changer that opens a lot of roads to create a 'best of both worlds' experience. For example, offloading heavy maths to other runtimes while providing a mature stack for everything outside of ML. The F# Type Provider for R (http://bluemountaincapital.github.io/FSharpRProvider/), is an example of this hybrid approach.

I believe Julia looks to be the better choice over Swift, tho.
