> p.s.: I really wish that instead of LanguageExt, companies would have adopted F# instead.

Ah the standard "why don't you just use F#" line. I have a standard response to that now ;)

Thanks, I did read the reply before but remain skeptical. The reason for this is "strictly-managed" teams are also often resistant to libraries in a similar way. Fully adopting a high-end solution like LanguageExt can be seen as significant commitment. If a business case justifies that, it means that adopting F# could be on the table too. And unlike Haskell, integrating "functional core" into existing .NET solutions is very easy and has low amount of friction, much less so than people tend to assume upon hearing the suggestion.
