What are its main advantages compare to C# ?the main advantage of F# to me is that it brings the functional programming style to .NET. functional programming is back in fashion, and there were several attempts to integrate it with imperative programming such as Scala on Java VM. hard code FP language is Haskell, I'd encourage you to learn it.
