That feature was actually inherited from Ocaml. Both have a REPL and type inference powerful enough to insure that you never indicate types in Ocaml and rarely in F#.

The experience is close to having an elegant Python with types, definitely worth becoming more popular.

The only thing F# has in common with Python is that it is a simple language. Other than that they are different paradigms.
