> In other words, I think the language is way ahead of the libraries and tooling - there is so much more that can be done (and is being done) using F# as-is!

I completely agree!

I wish I had more upvotes to give, since I'd give your comment the most if it were possible. I agree that there are some omissions from the community here, especially Ionide (which I personally use in addition to Visual Studio). I should probably do a video showing a breadth of F# tooling and libraries for F#, because it really is a great landscape where you can pick the tools and libraries based on their merit, rather than being stuck with one particular set of tools.
