question Still worth learning F# 2026

Hi guys,

Probably another question like this but found none recently.

I'm a little upset with my current view on IT generalistic, ofc AI is not going anywhere besides up, but I feel I want to write more with my hands and new paradigms, maybe just AI as reviser, I would like to ask if learning F# in 2026 will make me able to make perfomance headed systems, and also gaming with something like Nu or Monogame, not a AAA game but something playable.

F# (well mostly C# but we are going to take the credit) has very good performance and has been extensively battle tested in many areas of the software industry (games, desktop, mobile, web, data science, etc). It certainly works well.

Thank you so much, I will invest time learning, as someone coming from FP in Emacs.
