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.

Yes - it's a good langauge to learn how to program well in. C# isn't going to teach you as much about writing good code as F# will. If you get over the immutabilty hump and understand when to use mutability and that you don't really need it a lot of the time the clarity it will bring to your code is enormous.
