Interop is janky. It works, but there are some gotchas that need to be worked around. It works in 95% of the cases without much mucking around, but it's not pretty, so you're better off tucking that away in some dark corner.

Here's is a simplistic example of a state machine: let transition (state: State) (action: Action) : State option = match (state, action) with | (StateA, ActionA) -> Some StateB | (StateA, ActionB) -> Some State

If you're on a .NET stack, F# is a secret sauce; its just not many have bothered to look :) Maybe discuss with your CTO and make a collective decision to invest in it by understanding what it brings to the table, and don't worry t

We're an F#-first company and I'd like to share our experience here. All our new code is in F#, we started off from a C# codebase, so that made the transition somewhat manageable, as new F# code can be directly called from C#, and

Agreed. You can't completely avoid it as we're running on a framework (and libraries) that's based on C#, but we architect our code such that these messy edges that interface with the outside world are implemented once, creat

As other replies to this comment describe, we make heavy use of opaque types where runtime enforcement of safety is need. Some examples: PositiveFloat, PositiveDecimal, NonEmptyMap, NonEmptySet, NonEmptyList, KeyedSet.

We, at Chaldal (YC S15, chaldal.tech), use F# in production. Most of our backend projects are in F#, the last one is being migrated over slowly from C#. Our new frontend projects are also in F# (using Fable). I want to share some insights o

I've taken the approach of converting my models to XML, mostly because they map 1:1 from F#-land to XML-land, and I can use SQL Server's XML Indices, but most importantly, I can use XSLT to evolve my persisted models upon change c

We use Xamarin Forms a LOT for our internal and public facing apps. I started exploring it almost 2 years back, because native Android development just sucked, and C# has the async/await keywords, which is simply perfect for asynchrono

If these alien beings are built using javascript (as pictured above in the matrix-esque image) then we definitely have nothing to fear. This phrase should defeat them: "Hi, welcome to undefined"

Absolutely. That said, be prepared to take a lot of long-haul flights :) YC is a value-add, no matter where you're based out of.
