Interesting. Do you find it more or less terse than PowerShell?

I use both actually.

F# scripts for my own stuff, Powershell when those scripts need to be shared across the team or I need to interoperate with third party cmdlets.

It is quite terse, specially because Powershell has a bit of VB flavour to its syntax, mixed with attributes everywhere.

I rather use the cleanliness of the ML syntax, if possible.

It can be as terse as you want it to be. The bigger virtues are its speed, language features, and the environment.

F# interactive is what powershell/ISE wants to be, when it grows up and drinks the magic potion of awesomeness.
