If you are in San Francisco, like me, be sure to checkout the F# for Python Developers talk by Darren Platt: http://www.sfsharp.org/events/16691924/. If your coming from a Python background, F# is a compelling language. In fact, the creator of F#, Don Syme, was quoted as saying, "F# is a really simple language to use, especially if you’re just implementing some data manipulation using an existing set of libraries. Some people see it as a sort of strongly-typed Python, up to syntactic differences."[1]
F# has certainly grown on me. Love to see you there!

“Some people see it as a sort of strongly-typed Python…”
I hadn’t read that quote before. But, as someone coming from the other direction: learning Python after using F#, it rings true to me. I find the two languages to be wonderfully complementary.
