Do any languages specify package requirements in import / include statements?
If you're interested, you could further raise this on F# discord server or in https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp, F# is effectively a community-managed language so if there's a particular change you'd like to see, there is a high chance you can just make it happen if you have time to see it through.

What's New in F# 9
Thanks for the tips! I had thought there were still some other gotchas with AOT and F# but it looks like the list is smaller than last time I looked. https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/issues/13398

The sad state of property-based testing libraries
Not quite accurate with the Parallel example. Don Syme is explicit that applicative `async` should not implicitly start work in the thread pool (https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/issues/10301#issuecomment-7...).

Experimentation with Optimized Closures
There's docs about how the compiler generally does optimizations here: https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/blob/main/docs/optimizations.md

Load projects with dependencies on Repl
You should add your +1 to https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/issues/8764, which would add a syntax like #r: project ... to FSI.

Updated .NET Managed languages strategy - .NET
So when people are mad about MS and F#, one can see here that: https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/graphs/contributors MS does a lot more for F# then people being all pessimistic in reddit.

Rust panics under the hood, and implementing them in .NET
Before Rich made Clojure for the JVM, he wrote dotLisp[1] for the CLR. Not long after Clojure was JVM hosted, it was also CLR hosted[2]. One of my first experiences with ML was F#[3], a ML variant that targets the CLR. These all predate the MIT licensed .net, but prior to that there was mono, which was also MIT licensed.

Dada, an Experiement by the Creators of Rust
Yea, that's true. I forgot about that. I did think of Clojure CLR, but I don't get the impression that this is an all that natural or used implementation. ClojureScript is obviously much more used, although it is still a "different" language.

Ask HN: Does an equivalent of Clojure exist for .NET?
ClojureCLR can already run on .NET 5.0 , so at least it made it through the .NET Core migration. I'm sure they'll get it to 6.0 at some point.

Elixir Protocols vs. Clojure Multimethods
I recently found there was a clojure implementation for .NET and also one for the BEAM Virtual Machine. Has anyone used the latter? Regards

Scheme for embedding in .NET application
Maybe it's not exactly a scheme, but there's Clojure CLR and it's actively maintained: https://github.com/clojure/clojure-clr/wiki
