F# has gone from tiny to quite popular (#12 spot on Tiobe currently), and that shows very clearly in the quality of tools and availability of libs now. It's not the same language/community it was a year ago.

By comparison, Haskell is 49 and no ML lang is in the top 50.

Wow, you were not kidding, explosive growth in the last year. Some really great stuff and tooling "just works" now.
