I had strong-armed myself more than once into F# but the .NET orientedness has been quite hard to overcome as a Unix programmer. I also had a hard time adopting many cool languages like Clojure and Scala because they are tied to the JVM.
F# is a great usability improvement to Ocaml IMO.
It's much better now since F# is well-supported on .NET Core. We run our F# stuff in production on linux machines in docker containers. I can sympathize though. I have done some initial explorations of Clojure, and digging into the JVM ecosystem is a learning curve. I imagine coming to .NET is similar.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
