The F# team is smaller than 10 people, always has been.
~10 people is the size of the C# and VB language design and compiler team. The IDE side of things for C# and VB is about another 20+ people depending on how you count, although they also build and own infrastructure that (a) the F# team sits atop, and (b) is used by other languages in Visual Studio and is used in VS Code.
The #1 thing that people always end up surprised by is just how small and effective these teams are.
