F# Is The Best Programming Language Today

F# Is The Best Coding Language Today.
If you want to personally pick up a programming language in order to become a better coder in whatever other languages you use, F# is the best overall teaching/coding language you can find.

ML languages are pretty cool, I already like OCaml a lot and F# is deemed to be a “better OCaml” by many (not sure by which criteria though). But in the end, tooling, compiler apparatus and community support is what decides a language’s fate these days.

F# started as a copy of OCaml onto .NET but without the higher typed and first class modules (which is honestly the big thing about OCaml, otherwise just use SML), right down to the syntax (you could take an ocaml program that didn’t use higher typed or first class modules and compile it with F#, still can to this day I hear), and then F# started extending its syntax with more features, mostly just things to fit the .NET ecosystem better. I still think OCaml as a language is better than F#, but F# is certainly more convenient because it has all of .NET behind it (well, unless you want to compile a native app, lol).

Not sure whether it is the best or not, might as well could be though it depends on people’s tastes, but it certainly is the most underrated programming language out there.
