Coming from a .NET developer - why NOT F#?

* Network effect, or lack thereof. Very few people use it. * Its nature is contrary to the ecosystem. The CLR is fundamentally resistant to the paradigms that F# creates.

Wonderful little language - one of my favorites - and we owe a lot to it for the great features that C# has. But it just hasn't picked up the critical mass it needs.
