Dependency Order Compilation
- daxfohl 10y agoExcept it does. And F# doesn't. F# just has in-order compilation. C# has an extra step to determine dependencies and compile them in dependency order. The only thing for F# is that F# allows the user to determine the compilation order and show it in Visual Studio.
- davidgrenier 10y agoSorry I wasn't clear, I meant in the following sense: "One of the most common complaints about F# is that it requires code to be in dependency order." In light of your statement I understand the way I put it made little sense.

- davidgrenier 10y agoI don't understand the question, rather what's the point of it?
