I agree, but somewhat paradoxically, F#’s lack of new features kind of becomes a feature. Have you seen the number of C# features added in the last 5-10 years? It’s crazy

Half-baked adhoc features which didn't bring the language closer to Scala.

Still no HKTs and typeclasses, call-site expansion can only be simulated with partials and text-level code generation, etc, etc.

Not bringing the language closer to Scala is a feature, not a bug though.
