For GPU, F# has prior art in targeting it, a notable one is https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/jet-gpu-powered-fulfillmen... I believe it is mostly about intrinsic libraries and developing the code to stick to the idiom

Clef is a new backend for F# language aiming the language at concurrent systems use cases on native targets.

C# can't fix the wrong defaults, still lots more mutable by default, and statement oriented, as an example. average C# codebase looks different depending language version idioms, not so in F# (because initial release already had >80

Never under-estimates wrong defaults in a language, for example: C++, const modifier, verbose for more correct code (less mutable state, etc.) Rust, mut modifier, verbose for less correct code C/C++, bothersome to have tight scopped va

Just a polling of HN hive mind on this critical matter. Worst case, let the "tried F# once/for real" ramblers unload their bag once more :)

One way to look at it, but consuming OOP libraries doesn't turn code into OOP. Also, FSharp.Core (which most F# code leans heavily on) is not OOP at all. F# promotes object programming, doesn't proscribe mutability, encourages fun

In C#, you can't use the await keyword in a non async method, so I find the argument short sighted.

In context of adding burden of having someone to translate for you in Japanese, the statement he made seems good enough and to the point. Maybe you are far too pre-assumtpive that there was any ill effect, or even ill intent, in the stateme

The closest thing is https://github.com/rspeele/Rezoom.SQL which once compiled in your F# project, can be used in C# by referencing the generated assembly. Although this is nothing to do with string interpolation, the

How can they be considered a hack when they get baked in the BCL in so many places as well, not for interop purpose?

C# definitely will remain the number 1, and FP will remain used in a minority of places, until more people get exposed to it earlier in their cursus. The advantages are in the idioms, immutability by default, null not being legit value by d

What is needed is new blood among F# users, not coming from C# background and not too snob about F# not having most advanced type system when compared to Haskell or other similar ML languages. Then, effort on making functionally orientated

It became easier recently with droping a dependency on libgdiplus. IIRC you just need to install mono, python, jupyter and ifsharp: https://github.com/fsprojects/IfSharp All but last one should be on brew, for last one

Thing is that putting together short helpers for the "nasty" bits often revolve around 1 line helpers. You can do so along the way without focusing so much on doing idiomatic FP and achieve both pragmatic and palatable results. De

I see what you mean. Really reduced codebase size and features like type provider which increase safety and saves from writing boiler plate code do save on the bottom line, especially in maintenance. Also, if you are using vanilla C# for ma
