There are books out there. For new language adoption, F# do have new features like Type Providers. However, it's not the best language in X for X in ['data science', 'distributed system'] etc.

Sorry, my language was vague. There are many F# books, but I find it telling that Microsoft Press doesn't really write books about it. Look at C#, VB.Net, Office, SQL Server, Sharepoint, etc. Almost everything has a new book (or 10) every new edition. F#? Nothing.
