Unfortunately a lot of people will dismiss C# and F# just because it has the Microsoft label. I do think they're missing out.

Nowadays I program in a mostly Microsoft world (VSCode, Github, npm, typescript, GPT, ...) and I think its quite good, so no bias here. But the "shipping a native binary straight to the server that just works" is absolutely crucial for me

.net will let you do that now. You can ship precompiled binaries with Native AOT. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/nati...)

And even before native AOT you could use publish single and have a single binary.
