F# is the Scala for .NET.

What about it is lacking?

I'm asking because at one time I was weighing moving to Scala, but the F# algebraic types and compiler seemed more complete.

Is it syntax? that does take some getting used to.

In what way are the algebraic types more complete in F# than Scala? I was interested in F# much earlier in the day, but that was when Mono was not really a thing and I was not really going to go back to Windows.

I meant the syntax, yeah
