F# is my language crush. Been following it and hoping to use it for a long time. I'm in a leadership position and could MAYBE push to standardize on it however the current more likely scenario is TypeScript(I know, I know) due to my having already successfully pushed that out haha. Unfortunately the ship is already a bit far from shore.

Trying to move us completely away from Python for infra due to its tooling/language services being a post-apocalyptic wasteland. We will always have it around for pandas and ML work though.

If you're currently on JavaScript that's definitely an improvement. You could push for F# + Fable in that case. The F# Ionide VSCode extension is written with Fable. It's like TypeScript, just better.
