The other thing is footprint of codebase, despite almost 15 years of using C#, after only two years, I consistently write F# which is 1/3 of equivalent C# code, writing idiomatic code that any F# developers would grasp. There are ways

Try fsharp with interactive, with paket it is also very easy to depend on complex graph of nuget dependencies.

better type inference for anonymous functions, better type inference for instance members. Another big feature is code layout being more compact and consistent than in C# codebases.

Cobra language solved this and compiles to C#, they can introduce non nil references, but yes they can't scrap the BCL which is nil ridden. Seems to go against null propagation operator though :)

Consider contributing to a type provider for the database engine of your choice, I use SQL Server and F# is a better choice than C# in this regard anyday because of the type provider library that was created by community.

Agree with other comments, back then MS invested a lot in C# while there was then way more VB users, now it should invest a lot on F# while there are way more C# users. C# isn't going to dwindle because F# expands, if F# expands C# win

Nowadays, do you use any language which is not C like? Regarding VB, the language is used by many people whose main occupation is not software development, and even for those doing software there are many who find C# or similar looking lang

brew install mono brew cask install visual-studio-code once you are in vscode, install ionide: http://ionide.io You are ready to script (or more) with a great / lightweight editor.

I actually wish a keyword was also usable for the case of reference type tuples in order to be able to disambiguate those in libraries and later switch the default. It seems the feature was implemented to answer the concern of interop with

On Windows / Visual Studio, consider using https://github.com/fsprojects/VisualFSharpPowerTools which has some abilities similar to Resharper.

Moreover, the article doesn't even propose a "good GUI". The GUI seems to basically expose all the command line arguments in a simple UI, which is great for a developer tool, it would be nice to also see the corresponding com

Sorry, I think I misunderstood your setup. The proper way to do it with paket would be: * get rid of the Dependencies project (it was a side effect of trying to cope with the pain of using raw nuget) * add a paket.dependencies at the root o

From all I gathered about people that story was related to, it seems the F# project was done without looking at the C# implementation, on basis of same specifications. If you were tasked to implement a project because first implementation f

it is 'paket.references' file next to each proj file and a single 'paket.dependencies' at the root of the repository. You can also integrate the restore part to msbuild so it works out of box from visual studio, msbuild,

I think the title can be alleged mostly to the misconception which is prevalent at Microsoft since F# was introduced as a commercial product (before it used to be a Microsoft Research product). Maybe you are unaware of that? F# is a pretty
