Answer 1

Just use FSharp.Control.FusionTasks and you will have clear syntax without |> Async.AwaitTask like

   let httpClient = new System.Net.Http.HttpClient ()

   let getAsync (url:string) = 
    async {
        let! response = httpClient.GetAsync url
        response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode () |> ignore
        let! content = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync ()
        return content
    }
