Probably the intersection of people who (a) want an advanced ML-style language and (b) are interested in a CLR-based language is very small. But also, doesn't it do some weird thing where it matters in what order the files are included in the compilation? I remember being interested in F# but being turned off by that, and maybe some other weird details.


That ordering is generally considered a feature to keep dependencies and modules well-organized.


To be quite blunt, that sounds like a rationalization. To me "well-organized" would mean that the order conclusively does not matter. Otherwise I feel like I'm eventually going to end up randomly rejiggering the ordering until the compiler stops whining.
