Here is an interesting talk from MS Build 2017 conference, especially when compared to similar capabilities in Clojure/Cursive, etc.
For the first time they can do code completion, IDE REPL integration, and simple refactorings (e.g. "Rename Variable"). They also have an interactive data explorer called "Type Providers". It is like code completion but works in realtime for data (not code/libraries). He did a live demo exploring the Wikipedia "Doctor Who" page with the IDE providing "code completion" for accessing the webpage content. He said that this feature is not available in any other .Net language. This feature was implemented by the F# open source community (data scientists, etc). He also showed another feature "Jump to Definition" (CTRL-B in IDEA) was also implemented by the OSS users and is now merged into Visual Studio (also only available for F#). >From a Clojure perspective you can see that they are still playing catch-up, but it looks like they have really committed to both functional programming and the corresponding tooling.
