It is the stepchild of .NET.

There are still a few deployment scenarios where only C#, VB.NET, C++, JavaScript get to play and F# gets no entry.

A few F# features still don't work on .NET Core, like REPL and type providers.

Speaking of which, type providers is the king of F# demos, instead of discussing how and if ever .NET Native devs will care about F#.

Type Providers have worked in .NET Core since April.

Thanks for the correction. I lost motivation to keep following up F# tools being also ran for C# and VB.NET.
