When I hear "F#" and "functional," I think of Scott Wlaschin. I'd search for material from Scott. Some resources that look promising: - F# in Production with Scott Wlaschin: https://shows.acast.com/664fde3eda02bb0012bad909/664fde448c7... - https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/completeness-intro --- I don't have any major prod experience with F#, but it seems F# is as mature as .NET itself (at least there is full interop with C#.) Also don't forget functional languages make it more convenient to apply functional thinking, but with discipline you can implement functional thinking in pretty much any lang.
Comment on Hacker NewsThere's (or was an F# discord or Slack), I'd best ask it there.
