Your message is awaiting moderation. Thank you for participating in the discussion.
F# is derived from OCaml and shares a lot with it (but there are differences).
OCaml is a viable substitute for C/C++ and so between the two a large number of use cases can be covered. Also the experience and learnings are largely transferrable.
Xamarin / Mono Studio is a cross-platform IDE which already supports F#. I imagine much of that work can be leveraged to also support OCaml. Having a good IDE will greatly enhance the appeal of OCaml.
