But if you compare F# with C#, is not just LINQ .Select vs List.map
And i am not speaking about function, who is just a part of why i like F#, not the best one
Is the different defaults who matter, who guide you to an easier code who highlight the domain
- structural comparison vs reference comparison - expression vs statement based - immutability
C# will catchup with some features for sure.
Lot of new C# feature remove boilerplate (file scoped namespace, etc) and is a good trend
But the core defaults will be the same.
That will not push to a single direction (if fact you have LOTS of way to write the thing in C#) while F# try to push to the same way
To do so, C# continue to add thing to the LANGUAGE. Now is a lot more complicated than .NET 2.0
While F# try to do the same, but the language doesnt change.
An example: the async/task.
C# added the async as keyword, plus all needed to make it work, and the compiler generate special code.
F# has built that from the general computation expression feature and (recently) the state machine support.
