OCaml's logic on the CLR — Microsoft's quiet functional powerhouse, first-class in .NET and loved by everyone who's used it.

Descended from OCaml
Created by Don Syme

Don Syme's F# (2005) — OCaml on .NET — brought ML's type inference, pipes, and pattern matching to the CLR, with async workflows and the most elegant .NET syntax.\n\nMicrosoft officially supports it; it's the language .NET shops adopt for functional correctness.
