teach `dotnet new` how to create f# programs

See original GitHub issue

dotnet new should also scaffold f# program.

The template is not a problem.

What’s the best way to specify the language?

command line argument ( --language F# ), default c# ?
new command dotnet-new-fsharp.exe ( like dotnet compile => dotnet-compile-fsc.exe )
new argument F# without --language

A personal feedback

make c# explicit like f# for new, asking what language use if not specified, is better long term, more dotnet, less c# dotnet. Easier to discover for new user too

i added --lang with dotnet/cli#1027 , so f#/c# works. Btw default it’s c#, but command line it’s pretty for all languages 😄 thx all for feedback.

Further improvement ( like dotnet new fsharp/console ) are discussed in dotnet/cli#655
