Community and supportEstablished community with Microsoft backing, good documentation, and active forums.Very new, experimental language with a small and growing community; limited support and resources.
Learning curveModerate to steep, especially for those new to functional programming.Designed to be familiar to C++ developers; learning curve depends on C++ experience, but language is still evolving.
