F# is pretty awesome. It's a functional-first language with access to all the .NET APIs you know and love. It's also just a really good language. Compared to C#, it makes lots of common and useful things easy to code (collection literals, record types, discriminated unions), and has some particularly powerful and interesting advanced features (computation expressions, type providers).

There are lots of other interesting languages (Swift, Rust, and Clojure are high on my list as well), but especially if you're comfortable in the .NET/Visual Studio world, F# is really outstanding.
