You don't increase adoption by making the learning curve steeper.

Rust does its best given the circumstances, but people's top complaint is that its hard to learn.

Scala never went Mainstream because you can't hire developers, and training them takes many months.

F# should not repeat that mistake.

Adoption of F# would not be a problem if it had .NET Native support and proper tooling
