Can't speak to the others, but I'm pretty sure the F# team just doubled or tripled in size (it's still small though). Also the GitHub repo is very active: https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp .
What are the features you're looking forward to in the next version of Fsharp?

Hot-reload in Fun.Blazor
3 projects | dev.to | 27 Feb 2022

I know csharp got hot-reload for blazor for a while, I also keep tracking on the fsharp issue and hope there is some miracle which can happen. But there is no progress here. So I decide to have a look for what I can do. To make dotnet watch work directly is too hard to me which required a lot of knowledge about FSharp.Compiler.Service and the IL format which csharp roslyn is using for patch the program for hot-reload.

What I wish I knew when learning F#

You can simply contribute to https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/, the maintainers are very friendly to new contributors in my experience (though the codebase is old and often quite hard to understand).
The Very First Post
11 projects | dev.to | 10 Sep 2021

The F# Programming Language: I consider F# as the functional-oriented sibling of C#. This language offers a nice introduction to statically-typed functional programming. It offers a really nice ML-like syntax, as well as some features like type providers (a way to define a schema for data such as a database table, JSON file, etc.).
