For me, I only got into .NET because of F#, and even then I pretend C# doesn't exist. I tried learning OCaml, it has cool features, like parametric modules and GADTs. But I always ran into the issue of irreproducible builds. This didn't happened in F#.
I eventually tried F# because it was close enough to OCaml and while I was learning OCaml I always referred to this site http://fsharpforfunandprofit.com
I'm definitely an F# evangelist at work, but we are not a .NET shop. But I was would say that the introduction of ML features in other languages, (Swift, Rust) are good for F# evangelism, because it makes these concepts more familiar. I think the focus should be on moving F# away from .NET because F# itself, it is much more accessible that its cousins OCaml and Haskell. And if Microsoft won't give proper support, the community should move to other platforms. Some discussions are already happening here https://github.com/fsharp/fssf-ask-the-board/issues/4

Does anyone know of any other good blogs about LLVM and compilers?

I agree, type inference, sane object and classes, modules and ADTs and MirageOS. Looking back i wish F# or OCaml was my first language

I used to worked for a startup where the CTO and CEO were older in their 40s and didn't hire people over 30 because they weren't a "culture fit". I was constantly asked what my age was (I look a bit older). The team clocked 60+ work weeks for a product that was barely progressing. The CTO was so work obsessed that he got married to his pregnant fiancee in the morning and came back in the afternoon to make up work.
Thankfully for my next job, while the staff is still older, they work smart instead working hard.

Eventually I would like to write a C Compiler with it

I've just started learning OCaml. Bucklescript as well as F* and Reason are the reasons I chose OCaml over F#

A similar thing happen to me, so I feel your pain

I've been learning OCaml and hoped I could find something like this. Thank you.

Anyone who is serious about cross platform mobile development, whether it be Xamarin or React, needs to be well versed in Cocoa and the Android SDK.

Just click PDF in the right hand corner.

I'm curious about how this can integrate with other build systems like CMake, ninja and GYP. Also, I wonder if this could be the groundwork for a clang (obj-c, c++) build system

This is great!!! I wonder if it will be possible to install the Play Store in Chromium OS. I know that Chromium has some support for installing Android .apk files.

Yes I do, Also Swift 3.0 is supposed to ship Foundation.

There is an open source version of Foundation, so I don't see why not
