I just started at a Microsoft shop a few months ago (first time for everything), and I actually quite like F#, now that I've had a little while to play with it. It's a good contender for the NQAGAHBMIAL throne.
Having used CMUCL/SBCL for a while, I always found ocaml's "well, you can compile your code, but then you can't run it in the REPL" to be off-putting. (For my purposes the CLR JIT compiler for F# is good enough.)

Posted 20 minutes ago, and this post already shows up when you google "NQAGAHBMIAL". Impressive...
And now yours. And nothing else.
Is it "not quite as good as Haskell but maybe it's alright language"?
From the parent, "not-quite-as-good-as-haskell-but-more-industrially-acceptable language". Not intending to be obscure.
