F# is an amazing language and recently has been increasing in TIOBE index also --> it's at number 25 (march 2023)! above Kotlin, Haskell, Scala, Lua, Objective-C, Groovy, Dart, and many other amazing languages!

  • in "official" docs, e.g. aspnetcore (but also ef core), F# does not appear as a choice or option for devs in the main doc pages
  • web api templates, we don't have many F# versions and "figuring it out" can be cumbersome for F# users and F# students.

I understand that F# is very much community based, with other solutions like Giraffe but would be awesome to at least see some basic examples for F# as well in 101 docs for aspnetcore

Describe the solution you'd like

would be great to see examples of minimal apis in F# or integrating Giraffe in aspnetcore , also in docs

adding an F# tab here?
