I actually see this as an escape opportunity for F#-ers. I love the language, but the runtime and C# ecosystem are not only holding it back from having cleaner semantics (until the C# team sees the value in them), they've been actively kicking it down the ladder with breaking changes and new incompatible APIs.

F# is mostly liberated from .net thanks to Fable. Although the compiler strictly is .net

Fable is the complete opposite direction to .NET and OxCaml, though. Nice for people doing web I guess (I'd rather do TypeScript than deal with interop), but the JS runtime and ecosystem are pretty much useless for my use cases.

Maybe a pure WASM target could actually liberate F#.
