> Love the type checking, which I think is better than Rusts. But since I think Rust will win the market, I hope it improves.

Could you please elaborate on this? What specific stuff are you suggesting that F# does so well?

I'm in-experienced with Rust. So bit subjective.

F# uses algebraic types, and compiler can do pretty extensive type checking. I understand Rust also does this, it just seemed like Rust allows some options that make it not as complete. But, I'm not expert on Rust.
