F#: higher order functions, pattern matching, and easy interoperability with .NET.

Okay, that last one has never existed but damn it would be nice 🙃

I was going to say, beacuse I'm interested in F#, and interop would make this language more prevalent. unfortunately I am in interested in most languages and there is a queue of things to try forming. I like pattern matching too, but as js doesn't have it I couldn't say that.

TBH I haven't totally mastered them and thus learned to appreciate their power. Thanks for reminding me to add that to my todo list!
