Round-based demos compare concrete code not slogans: votes tie on type-system and data-model rounds, C wins the final tally 4–2; the C side shows an emulation using OneOf (14M downloads) while the F side shows native discriminated unions and exhaustive pattern matching; error-handling demos build a Result pipeline with a result computation expression and a let! / bind (fish) operator implementation that composes failures, and examples show computation expressions behaving like async/await.
