If you had to start over, would you still recommend to yourself to learn F# in 2022?
I am asking this as someone who has dabbled in functional languages (F#/ Haskell) multiple times over the years but, despite liking the elegance of functional code, never reached a level of productivity that came close to what I am used to from imperative languages. Specifically for C#, given the trend of baking more and more of the cool functional stuff into the language (e.g. [1]), I am wondering whether F# still has enough unique features to justify the effort.
