Is F# still moving forward? I am tempted to try it but I don’t want to bet on another tool MS may abandon soon like they did with the .NET frameworks.

Here's the blog post JUST for the changes in the newest release. It is surprisingly meaty for being something other than c#

I love how detailed those blog posts are. Always a (very long) delight to read :)
And F# is the single piece of the inner .NET which is truly community driven. And they have a vibrant community.
Yes. F# 6 was just released with .NET 6 and Visual Studio 2022. It's an awesome language with a vibrant community. Plus, it's fully open source and cross-platform, so if MS were to abandon it, I think it could carry on anyway.
I think the real question to ask is how it would fare without Don :)
