Except that C# is a first class citizen on the platform, not a wannabe replacement for the platform's main language.

This already makes a lot of difference in the tooling that one gets from the platform owner.

Another thing is from the point of view of customers.

With C# I can get all the goodies on customer projects.

With Scala, I can only play with it at home and try to be happy with Java 8 on customer projects.

And F# can cover the rest if needed.

They really just need to let us use C# and F# in the same sln/projects. Then structure can be in C#, nitty gritty implementations in F# and everyone is happy!
