F# is really a very nice pragmatic language. C# keeps cannibalizing features from it, which is both good and bad...

As a die-hard .NET/C# developer, I would be curious what you perceive to be the 'bad' side of that coin. I assume something like LINQ would be classified as 'good'?

What he meant by bad is probably the fear that MS will abandon F# once C# has borrowed enough features from it.

The other unfortunate is that as C# accretes features, the old still hangs around. Eventually you end up with too many valid ways of doing things, and cruft that either can't be worked around or was never updated.

It's been over a decade since generics were introduced, but I still encounter code using ArrayList today...
