F# was never made to be successful. It is not allowed to be better than C#. If it cant be the best dotnet language it can at best just linger.
C# is made by C# Language Designers, for C#. On other hand, F# is responsible for interoperability in both directions and have to accommodate C# developer tastes. It needs keep up with design and to never really deviate from dotnet(C#).
Nobody gets excited to suggest or request anything from F# anymore since its always decided based on C# language team view of C#. The language is not allowed to truly improve.
Swift is successful because it is not limited and controlled by the Obj-C team.
And now, nearly everything new given by “dotnet” is just for C# eg. Win Ui.
I just hope it does not die a slow death like visual basic.
