I tried F# when it was first released and was not a fan, but it sounds like that impression is a little outdated. C# has come so far in that time it’s almost a new language. I’ll have to take another look.
I don't know what C# has for an interactive prompt nowadays, but F#'s commandline environment, via its fsi.exe, was a revelation back then. It prevented having to have entire solutions to contain test projects to explore different areas of the vast .NET framework, especially when just learning how to use specific methods or objects.
For C# you can use LINQpad, a .NET scratchpad. You can even mix and match F# in it.
