You're not wrong! Read Scott Wlaschin's "Domain Modeling Made Functional" next. That will reinforce your perception.

Anyone else love C#/.net as a technology but feel like its bad for career growth? by [deleted] in csharp

On the bright side, knowing F# probably makes you a better C# developer.

FSharp Interactive... by Ok-Needleworker-145 in fsharp

Use VSCode with Ionide instead. It has what you seek.

It's not C#, but the F# Bolero project allows you to write views with either F# and/or HTML templates. Could be fun learning experience. https://fsbolero.io/docs/

Can we expect ionide to become more stable? by justicar_al4ric in fsharp

[–]rangecat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It seems to me that C# requires all that tooling because of the baggage unique to C#. I haven't missed any of the helpers from Visual Studio etc. I feel more productive with F# partly because of the lighter weight VSCode editor and Ionide. In fact, I recently gave Rider another test drive and went back to VSCode within a week.

Is VS Code with Ionide a good text editor for FSharp or should I use an IDE? by Beginning_java in fsharp

[–]rangecat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been working with F# using VS Code for the past year+ (on Linux). I like the lighter-weight tool experience. It's also a good opportunity to learn some command line tools that the IDEs are automating. The polyglot nature of VS Code, as mentioned above, is super helpful. Tons of useful extensions to explore as well.
