F# works very well on Mono. You can compile and use the open-source edition of the F# compiler [1] on both Linux and on OS X (though I haven't tried OS X).

This port is in very early stages, and only has the start of a lexer as far as I can see.

F# works very well in Osx and with Xamarin Studio you can target a lot of different platforms: Windows, Osx, Android, and iOS.

FYI, F# 3.0 is shipped as part of the Mono package for OS X.

It's also available through the FreeBSD ports system: http://www.freshports.org/lang/fsharp/

(Replying to myself, since I can't edit the post now...)

More info on F# 3.0 + Mono 3.0 + FreeBSD can be found here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/fsharp-o...

Arch Linux users: the thread I linked also has instructions on how to build/install F# 3.0 and Mono 3.0, if you're interested.
