Thanks for this! Looks like a great language. Its a shame it targets the CLR and Mono is so crippled.
If it was on the JVM, looks like a serious competitor to Scala with some distinct advantages (! operator for sure) along with a little simpler syntax.
- scott_s 17y agoKeep in mind that F# is very similar to OCaml. OCaml compiles to native executables, so while it's not for the JVM, you should be able to use it on most platforms.
- omellet 17y agoHow exactly is the CLR crippled?
- bmason 17y agoThe statement was that Mono is crippled. Last I checked, Mono was lagging at least one major release behind Microsoft's CLR. So if you're using fancy new features, you'll probably have to refactor to gain cross platform support, and even then you may encounter bugs and memory leaks.
- omellet 17y agoYou're right, I misread it.
