As a fan of O'Caml, I have to ask: what's the status of F# on .NET? ...and is it used much compared to C#, or is its use at least growing, or is it stagnating/dying?

I just ported a pretty large domain specific library from VB with .NET Framework 4.61 to C# with .NET 7. It took me probably 3 to 4 days to do with the assistance of Instant C# converter. There are lots of gotchas here and there and it does require a pretty reasonable understanding of both legacy and new frameworks.
I'm interested in this case! I have a bit app: Razor, MVC, EF, custom nuget packages, reflection, very advanced expressions ( linq) and my IoC is Autofac ( .net 4.7.2). 101 projects in one solution. Have you got any pointers on gotchas? Did a quick attempt ( 1 evening) and got blocked on my nugets+ Autofac.
Also have a look at the MS upgrade/migration guides for .NET. They’re exhaustive and extremely helpful.
It’s a tired thing to say, but the “.NET” naming is so confusing on what’s what. Which is sad because there’s so much to like about .NET
Been using .NET for years now for backend web development after having taken a break from C#. It is such an improvement over the old .NET framework. When I started building my first backend with it, I was surprised how much was included and "just worked". Need to add authentication? Few lines. OAuth? Also built in. Response caching? Yes. ORM? EF Core is pretty good. Need to use env variables to override your JSON con…
It really is like finding enlightenment after having to figure out which third party package is best for every little thing in Node. Visual Studio is a pretty powerful IDE as well.
Odd question maybe, my company uses C# and I've been picking up more backend responsibilities. However, I'm a Linux and Neovim user. I do have Windows and Visual Studio available but I just find it awkward. Is anyone here having success with Linux and Neovim for C#? Even trying to learn more about the language is awkward as so many resources go straight into VS.

If you could rename it, what would it be and why?
Another good question would be - if you were Microsoft and wanted to plan a roadmap to take the .NET ecosystem forward from a couple of separate implementations (Windows-only .NET Framework, Cross-platform Xamarin) how would you go about this in a way that doesn't cause a big furore like Python 2->3 did? Because I imagine you end up with what MS did - define a standard that can be used for building common code betwee…
Trying to find solutions to ASP.NET Framework problems usually requires discarding a whole bunch of irrelevant ASP.NET Core/.NET ones.
It's the same with Visual Studio/Visual Studio Code.

Can you install it [edit: the .Net 7/8 platform that sounds interesting, not the IDE] for free on a Linux server and get the same benefits? (This isn't advocacy, it's a literal question about something I don't know.)

Also VS Code, an open source IDE with first class support for .NET languages:
