> I tried to learn F# a few months ago and the experience was horrible.

Switching to a programmig language based on an entirely different programming paradigm is not comparable to switching to a language based on the exact same programming paradigm to develop the exact same application using the exact same design patterns.

I’m completely comfortable with the language coming from Elixir. The problem was the tooling/docs didn’t match the experience.

This was from the official site and many of the commands threw errors.

I think it was a case of incomplete Mac support, which should have been called out.

IIRC I posted on HN about it and got an apology for the state of tooling

Of course it’s gonna be hard if you are trying to learn a language plus a framework at the same time, especially given that F# is treated as a second class citizen by Microsoft. An easier path is to break that learning into more manageable tasks: on one hand getting familiar with F# (which is already some work as it has both a functional side, and a CLR one; you need more the OOP part for doing ASP.net) and in the other ASP.net, for which the golden road is C#.

Otherwise the doc is quite good for ASP.net Core, and it’s rare I get stuck on a problem for too long with it.

Can you link to the tutorial you followed?
