The F# development home on GitHub is now dotnet/fsharp

Absolutely. F# is just one of 3 languages which you can use to develop .NET Core applications. .NET Core itself is cross platform and really well supported on Linux and macOS. The other two languages are C# and VB.NET, but personally I think that F# is just the nicer of the three.

It's also worth noting that .NET Core is not only cross platform, but an extremely performant runtime which really hits the ceiling in various benchmarks https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r17&hw=...

I'm trying to imagine that one tortured soul out there doing VB.NET on macOS.

to be fair most tests in this benchmark are not real world. most stuff above 150.000 is basically cheating. .NET Core including. Which sane person would would write a whole app with

app.Run(async context => { await context.Response.WriteAsync("Hello, World!"); });

Not really, and the highest Core test spews errors in that test. [0]
