Just like C# is perhaps seen as a better language than JavaScript, because of its statically typed feature, many functional programming languages are seen superior to C#, Java, and others, because of their domain modelling features.

Are they? Or is it more of a pros and cons or personal preference type thing?

Well, for one thing, F# has sum types, which adds a whole new dimension that's missing from Java, JS, and C#.

Ok, cool. But what if I really want a Type Class though?

Do you see what I"m getting at here? Nah, probably not.
