F#

So anyway I have begun my foray into F#.  Because I plan to use .net in my next project I think it will be fun to learn F# in addition to C# and use both languges in the project.  To this end I just ordered Expert F#.  Knowing /prog/ is infinitely more expert then me: 

what does /prog/ think about .net?
what does /prog/ think about F# (ocaml)?
What type of tasks are better to be performed in F# vs C# (Math type tasks heavy)?

You are only half way there. Since C# and the CLR are published standards they can be ported to any platform. The only real problem is that they are not yet ported to many pltforms, not that it can't and never will be.

There are .Net implementations from MS on:
Windows
OSX (not Mono)
Moible Devices

And the only non-MS one is:
Linux

The mono guys seem to have their priorities wrong. Instead of implementing the newest version of the core framework, they are implementing things like Silverlight and DLR.
