For exactly the reasons your mentioned, i feel like F# would have been the perfect match for both MLE/ETL(spark pipeline) work and some of the deep learning/graph modelisation such as pytorch. Saddly, even from MSFT, the investment in F# as dried up

Not sure what you mean here - Microsoft are actively working on F# and the .NET Spark and Torch bindings.
