Not in general.

What I meant is the term "railroad" is specifically conceived in the F# "world" so it's logical that one does not find it elsewhere. CEs are a concrete language feature which, although similar to do notation, is unique enough. So similarly normal to not see it elsewhere :)

The first two are F#-specific.

What was the problem or question to solve?

This is another formulation of my point. Unfortunately the "human factor" seems to be somehow a notion in the software industry. But it is nonsensical in other engineering disciplines. Rightly so, because it comes down to individualistic anti-intellectual stance and that learning is special.

The "needs" are indeed relevant when we deal with different categories of applications: F# is not better for systems or embedded or game programming, Rust, C, etc. are better. But F# and C# are the same category so the "needs" are the same.

While I understand the good intentions behind such reocurring statements, I am less careful and "politically" balanced: #fsharp is absolutely inherently better. The "needs" are irrelevant, objective properties are what matters in engineering. Just like precise power tools vs manual mediaval tools.

I am guessing you mean something like "if/when the last F# programmer leaves"? This is very unlikely, either there are more remaining or others who can pick it up. People can learn things :)

The right answer is indeed "you don't need to hire F# programmers".

Even more so, given that the seminal paper on F# computation expressions just uses the monad and monoid terminology extensively, as it should.

Seq does have bind though, it's only called differently.

Functional programming and its idioms are the most fitting and sensible interpretation/realization of #eventsourcing. Fold multiple composable values of types provided by the layered model, alongside the use-case specific version, apply model logic, store a new record. "Aggregates" are a mistake.

Why would people use other programming languages for frontend dev when #purescript is just right there?

I think I understood the popularity of "modern" as a term. It embodies the implicit and unconcious understanding that most of the (visible online) software industry is a web of ad-hoc, anti-fundamental knowledge, hype-driven, half-assed ideas which break easily. Then its on to the next "modern".

And then there is PureScript as well.
