"No matter if you are already a functional developer from a different community (Haskell, Clojure, Scala, etc.) or you are a complete newbie to functional programming (like I was 3 years ago) I think F# can equally impress you" -> "For this task and for the rest of this blog post I'll be comparing F# with C# in order to show some of the benefits."
F# is neat, and I see why it's useful if you have a big .NET program already, but for anyone else I don't see why I'd pick it over a more mature (and less Microsoft-centric) functional language like OCaml, SML, or Erlang.
Does F# have any unique features that other functional languages lack, or is .NET integration its killer feature?
