Our shop converted 6 years ago, from C# to exclusively F#. I also author and maintain some packages (falco, donald, validus and others). The language is tough to learn if you're coming from a C-style language. But worth the effort and experience. It's extremely concise a true delight to build programs in that are fast, robust and durable.

There are a few drawbacks, depending on your perspective:

- compilation is slower than c# and hot reload isn't supported (it's in progress)

- there are very few opportunities to use it professionally

- hiring devs can be challenging

Thanks for your work on falco, it’s a really great library.
