I loved the ML based emphasis. I'm a big fan of f# unfortunately as the article details .net has a shadow of the libraries that Java has. Clojure and Scala have much broader access to popular libraries. I've found most developers are ok with the hum drum c based languages thus c#, java, golang are good enough for most people with no interest to jump the chasm to an ML inspired language.

While it is true that .NET has less libraries than the JVM ecosystem, I'm not sure it remains sensible to still call it "a shadow of". In certain domains the .NET ecosystem is better. Either way, if a team was almost able to put up with the OCaml ecosystem, I believe the .NET ecosystem would be no problem at all.
