Description
I think most junior devs would benefit from starting to learn the language with Scripting, not with dotnet new and project files,
in a similar fashion ad python.
Script and REPL should be the first things to learn in F#, not .fsproj and dotnet commands.
install vscode + ionide, then something like this...
touch my-script.fsx
echo "pritntfn \"hello\"" | my-script.fsx
dotnet fsi my-script.fsx
all people need to get started easily, this would maybe help adoption and remove barriers across languages and frameworks
