I have been using F# since last year, haven't really looked back to C# since.

Unfortunately although we are a small community, it does feel like being last on Microsoft priority list.

Microsoft please listen to feedback of your F# users namely on fslang-suggestions and fslang-design repository.

My personal wish list for F# are type classes, HKTs, macros and GADTs.

I'm a bit curious about the constant need of hkts. I had a fairly manufactured answer to the following question, which would have saved a couple keystrokes with hkts, but I don't yet get why it is constantly so high on the request list. It seems like something that is cool in theory but would rarely be used in real world code. https://stackoverflow.com/q/21170493/171121

My personal wish list for F# is that it just gets the same tooling and deployment scenarios support as C#, VB.NET and C++.

The language is already good enough.
