F# is nicer than the alternatives if you need to be (or want to be) on the Microsoft ecosystem but there are some things I miss when I use it from OCaml, like modules and functors. It also doesn't support named arguments, which are a fairly trivial thing that drastically cuts down the bugspace and increase usability for me.

I also don't think F# is as fast as OCaml?
