When you are a .NET shop with C++, C# and F# at your disposal why invest into Scala?

F# is a remarkably less powerful language than scala. Along with the cost of Visual Studio + windows licenses, the Scala/open source ecosystem is just a better choice.

For corporations, the cost of Visual Studio and Windows licenses is a drop of water in their ocean budget.

There is enterprise software way more expensive than that.

Corporations for which VS/Win licenses don't matter are usually exactly those which don't let developers use F#. So what's your point?
