I agree with the author about the slow inner loop experience. Recompiling the whole app to see browser changes gets tiring. The .NET team is planning a series of updates to address this in .NET 6. https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/5510

I also dislike the default workflow for dealing with Nuget forks. I switched to Paket for dependency management which makes this much simpler. https://fsprojects.github.io/Paket/

This is already bearing fruit in the latest preview: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/announcing-net-6-previ...

I also saw this lovely update for Xamarin.Forms users https://twitter.com/drasticactionSA/status/13802626828724428...

This is a very strange criticism given that F# was the first language to have a REPL and nowadays most web projects also have a compilation step.

Actually no, because on the release CD of Common Language Runtime, and the alphas and betas that preceded it, Microsoft collaborated with several companies and universities to have various languages available at lunch date.

Many of which did have a REPL.

Also the dynamic language runtime originally designed for Iron languages, Python and Ruby, precedes F#.
