I have a few questions. Can it do GUIs well? How about mobile? And how does it compare to e.g. Scala?

For web UI we have Fable and it's integration with well-known js frameworks, also WebSharper (although it's less well-known) and Bolero (on top of Blazor)

For mobile we have FuncUI (on top of Avalonia) and Fabulous (on top of Avalonia, Xamarin and Maui). Most of these frameworks use Elm architecture, but some do not. For example I use Oxpecker.Solid which has reactive architecture.

Can't help with Scala comparison, but at least DeepSeek V3 prefers F# for UI https://whatisbetter.ai/result/F%23-vs-Scala-9eaede00c7e4485...
