> I'd wager that the amount of code I have to write, including tests, is less than in all other practical languages. Often much less. That is very valuable.

It would take a very gerrymandered definition of "practical" to say that Python counts but F# doesn't, and I'm pretty confident F# would win that comparison for most problems. (If you'll allow me Scala, which is my language of choice and the one I use full-time at my job, I'm very confident it would win the comparison for the vast majority of problems)

And as someone who has coded both Python and Ruby on the job, and most recently Scala, I find the amount of time I'm debugging runtime errors much less in Scala, which is very valuable.

I also don't feel the amount of code I am writing to be all that significantly larger than what I was writing in Python/Ruby.

F# might, but I doubt scala would.
