Looks nice, and if I ever have a need for something like this I'll use it over Lambda, because of C#.

But, why no F#? Seems like an obvious language to support.

I replied to you below. Mostly it's a time thing. We built this thing in under 90 days. We should have support for F# soon, based on our C# implementation. We're using a pipeline for C# which we think F# should just drop into. (You can see our C# implementation here: https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-script/blob/maste...)

How about shelling out to native C/C++? I have Haskell running on AWS Lambda would be nice for Azure Functions, https://github.com/chadbrewbaker/introToAWSLambda

You certainly can do this. Though keep in mind that your functions are running on Windows, so make sure to compile your native binaries to target Windows.

In fact, Don Syme and the F# team are working with us to get this done more quickly. @VisualFSharp on Twitter can tell you more.
