I am also leaning towards F#. What do you use for json serialisation? Any guide which describes basic steps to put together a web api.

This e-book http://products.tamizhvendan.in/fsharp-applied/ should get you covered, Version II is just out :-)

JSON.NET is the standard library for handling JSON on the .NET platform, and to my knowledge it's available for both .NET Core and for use with F# collections.

I've never used F# on .NET Core, but I'd be surprised if it didn't work.

Yep F#, the language, works all right in .NET Core 2.0. Some libraries, particularly, type providers, not yet, but they are working, on it. And JSON.Net also works fine on .NET Core.

[vorotato → edgarsanchez]

As I understand it type providers work with dotnet core code, provided you build the providers in mono. But yeah that's not exactly ideal.

Chiron is what I've been using. I like it because it's simple which means I can understand it. Currently using it with fable elmish architecture, again because it's simple and i understand it.
