Most interesting part for me:
"""For the functional programmers among you, it includes excellent F# support, powered by the same F# compiler used in Visual Studio."""
I've heard that F# is great from multiple people I trust a lot (and a quick cross check showed it does indeed look very cool) so I might give it a try once this is released.
I do some C# development (Unity Engine stuff) on my Powerbook so this is also good news (MonoDevelop is fine but I'll obviously test VS for Mac)
- mcintyre1994 10y agoF# is well supported by Visual Studio Code (with the Ionide plugin) too if you want to try it sooner.
- wluu 10y agoThis will essentially be a rebranded Xamarin Studio and tweaked to look more like VS for Windows. And Xamarin is basically based off MonoDevelop.
- te_platt 10y agoI started converting some c# code to f# as a learning exercise about a month ago. After a few fits and starts, something clicked and I am amazed at how much I like it. I have been following the articles on "F# for fun and profit" and highly recommend it.
- hellofunk 10y agoOCaml guys don't seem to like F#, as its implementation differs from many in the FP world believe is "correct", but any form of FP on .NET is a good thing, I think.
