If you're on a .NET stack, F# is a secret sauce; its just not many have bothered to look :) Maybe discuss with your CTO and make a collective decision to invest in it by understanding what it brings to the table, and don't worry too much about the future, like having to hire F# devs. As I described above, guiding existing devs to learn F# is the equivalent of training them to think better (as PG/Eric Raymond quote, it will "make you a better programmer for the rest of your days"). If a small handful of you within the company develop expertise, you can guide others. And what's more; if you do pick up F#, many skills are transferable to other FP jobs (like Scala). There's a leap-of-faith element involved, but it has been paying us dividends. Also, I really like this post: https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/low-risk-ways-to-use... |
