Many of the core F# developers develop on Mono first, so I think it's probably reasonable to run F# on something other than Microsoft's VM.

Yes and not, you surely can develop successfully with mono on linux, but .NET is not "write once, run everywhere", is more a "write once, run everything" framework. It's heavy tangled with all the Microsoft and Windows technology and promote the reuse of code in that ecosystem.

That's a rather unique take, given how Xamarin has managed to build a massively successful company around the idea of using .NET to target non-Windows platforms.

Every company that isn't the size of Microsoft is a drop in the sea of .NET.
