What's the latest and greatest in terms of M$ feature availability on Mono these days?

A couple of years ago whatever the successor to LINQ to SQL was at the time, was not available/not implemented (maybe Entity Framework?)

Anyway, curious about doing equivalent of Scala + Play + Slick on Mono, which I assume is F# + .NET + Type Providers/LINQ to SQL.

i think i just haven't had anything that hasn't worked yet, and by this i mean, i wrote my codebase for various projects in .net in vs2012, copying them over to linux and just fsharpc, and it just works (although i confess i have not touched linq\sql things), my advice, git clone and try. edit:spell
