Remove C#-specific reference

Unless the project does not work in F#.

Hmm. This project is not intended to be a perfect multi-language solution - being able to use F# or VB to customize the proxy are not explicit goals, and I don't think we have any demand for it from the customers we have spoken to.
My concern here is in terms of expectation setting - we don't explicitly intend to disable non c# languages - but we are not going to explicitly test them either.

maybe you have spoken to the wrong customers then? ASP.NET Core is pretty popular in F# land

[isaacabraham]

@samsp-msft appreciate your honesty there.

Perhaps try looking at it from another perspective: if someone is looking at adopting F# (and subsequently dotnet) and looks at this project, would you want them to try it out - maybe start using it? Or go away with the impression that this library is only compatible with C#? This is something we see happening more than you might think.

If this is indeed going to be a library that's going to become a part of the asp .net family of packages, it would be unfortunate if people got the wrong idea that ASP .NET = C# only.

Please don't make me have to create "Pony - A functional wrapper for YARP".

I've got no time for that atm :P

[samsp-msft]

My hesitancy was from an expectation management perspective. We are not trying to exclude F# or VB, and we don't think that there is anything that will prevent usage of those languages - but creating templates, doing testing etc to have a really welcoming experience for the F# user is not in our short term roadmap.

[isaacabraham]

@samsp-msft understood :-) I think no one in the F#-specific userbase will expect some custom F# wrapper for this (of course, that would be lovely!). People will create their own if needed; F# can interop with standard C# pretty well when you need to.

Lack of templates/sample code is not a deterrent since F# developers can almost always read C# code fluently and repurpose it.
