Hi Andrew, Thanks for posting the link - I've been meaning to send an announcement about F# but have been putting it off for no particularly good reason except to wait to see if people just stumbled across it. We also need to build some more substantial .NET sample applications using F# (besides the F# compiler itself), which is why I've called the current release a "preview" release.
We're looking into rolling a source release of F# into Rotor. Alternatively we might roll it into our first release of the generics extensions to Rotor. Note that F# is really "Caml.NET", i.e. it's not so much a new language as an implementation of something very close to an existing language. You might also be interested in SML.NET.
