If you’re going to use C# for a compiler, why not go the whole hog & use F#?

No argument from me, just saying lumping in all those languages together sounds reasonable in theory, in practice they are very far apart.

You'll probably have similar overlap between C# and F# implementations as you would with say TypeScript - they are just that different in practice IMO.

I was going to mention F#. The parent and grandparent comments mention C# and ML, and the intersection of the two is... F#.
