F# is a really interesting language. I actually just started to learn F# myself. We also lived streamed fSharpConf a few weeks ago channel9.msdn.com/Events/FSharp-Events/fsharpConf….

You can definitely expect to see more content from us on those topics. Also, as we get more feedback from the community we'll know what everyone is interested in and can start tailoring content towards that.

There is a dedicated team with many passionate people behind it. I believe it was even the language behind QSharp used for authoring Quantum computing. I'm not sure how to define "enough love" but I know it's a popular language. What support do you feel is lacking? Microsoft was heavily involved with/supportive of the latest conference: http://fsharpconf.com/ and our employees are actively on the foundation.

@Jeremy Likness Traditionally F# templates in Visual Studio have been behind the C# templates, or in some cases, non existent. It's also only recently that F# documentation has been reorganised; previously it has felt like a community effort sponsored by Microsoft, rather than an officially supported language.

F# is certainly not promoted as an equal partner to C#. Although it has to be said, F# examples for Azure Functions are quite comprehensive - but there is no Visual Studio 2017 template for them, unlike C# ;-)

There's definitely an active user community around F#- it just seems that Microsoft are missing out on an opportunity to promote an alternative to say, Scala.
