Description

### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe the problem.

F# is an amazing language and recently has been increasing in TIOBE index also --> it's at number 25 (march 2023)! above Kotlin, Haskell, Scala, Lua, Objective-C, Groovy, Dart, and many other amazing languages!

* in "official" docs, e.g. aspnetcore (but also ef core), F# does not appear as a choice or option for devs in the main doc pages
* web api templates, we don't have many F# versions and "figuring it out" can be cumbersome for F# users and F# students.

I understand that F# is very much community based, with other solutions like Giraffe but would be awesome to at least see some basic examples for F# as well in 101 docs for aspnetcore

### Describe the solution you'd like

would be great to see examples of minimal apis in F# or integrating Giraffe in aspnetcore , also in docs

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/tutorials/min-web-api?view=aspnetcore-7.0&tabs=visual-studio

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/minimal-apis?view=aspnetcore-7.0

adding an F# tab here?
