However, there is a point here: F# offers the things that people are getting all excited about with Gleam (pragmatic functional programming in the ML school) and yet receives little hype.
I knew about F# since my university days and I'm guilty for not really dig into it except for toys projects. I worked in many companies and most of them were Microsoft hostile. That would explain why I'm kind of far away from the .NET affiliated technologies.
We all agree that this is a silly reason, but if you wonder why F# doesn't get any love, I'd bet that this is because a lot of people are ignoring Microsoft. Let's change that
This would make it much slower and reduce the amount of libraries it can use by a factor of 10, maybe more, without improving its concurrency capabilities, possibly degrading them (because .NET threadpool and task system are robust and low overhead).

Perhaps it need a Beam compiler target?
