Ask HN: Did anybody used F# in a production?

Curious to apply functional programming to .NET framework, but not sure how mature this is. Does anybody have an experience?

There's (or was an F# discord or Slack), I'd best ask it there.

When I hear "F#" and "functional," I think of Scott Wlaschin.
I'd search for material from Scott. Some resources that look promising:

I don't have any major prod experience with F#, but it seems F# is as mature as .NET itself (at least there is full interop with C#.)
Also don't forget functional languages make it more convenient to apply functional thinking, but with discipline you can implement functional thinking in pretty much any lang.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39592760 is a thread that has some insights into using F# in prod from someone who worked at Jet and Walmart.
