F# has a much more primitive type system than Scala and isn't particularly impressive imo. And it doesn't have functors ala OCaml.

What I like about F# vs Scala is the ML-style syntax and the relative simplicity. I have found Scala staggeringly complex every time I have tried to learn it, it seems like the C++ of functional programming languages. This impression may be misguided.
