There are quite a few languages I would like to use before Go. Especially F# seems very interesting for DS.

Even been wanting for some time to check out the F# R Type Provider: http://bluemountaincapital.github.io/FSharpRProvider/ Unfortunately it appears to be Windows-only, and my curiosity hasn't yet reached the point that I'd boot into Windows.

Sadly, it also doesn't work with .net core yet. Otherwise this would be a pretty convincing point for F#.

It also looks like it's been unmaintained for several years, and it talks about supporting R 2.x. R 4.0 has enough changes to the language internals that I'm not sure it would work with recent versions.

Yeah, that as well. Unfortunate.
