Bug? $ strings supported in C#, but not F#

MaslowB

var x = 1;


$"{x}".Dump();
$@"{x}".Dump()

compiles and runs just fine while

let x = 1


$"{x}".Dump()
$@"{x}".Dump()

in F# expression or program does not.

I believe this is due to LINQPad being stuck on an older version of F# - because of this issue:
https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/issues/8560

The good news is this issue is part of the 16.10 milestone, so I'm optimistic that we'll see a fix soon.
