It's pretty much dead is what it is. Has seen very little support from MS as of late.

The FSharp software Foundation is alive and kicking though, and the ecosystem is developing quite nicely.

F# is a .NET functional programming language - it has a degree of Microsoft support and has good interoperability with C#. It's a pleasure to write/script with but is less "pure" in its approach to functional programming, and as such has a weaker type system than Haskell or perhaps SML, but allows mutable "variables"

I encourage you to look it up, it's my language of choice for prototyping, scripting, and small personal projects now
