I’m a C# developer, love the language and how easy it is to express what’s in my head as code.
I recently had a chance to play with F#. After being completely lost for a bit, I found I had to really rethink how I was reasoning about problems and the right way to solve them.
But that’s the point I want to make. I don’t expect to be good at FP for a while - it’s going to take time to grow, along with the tooling and community. But I appreciate having a way of framing a problem differently, and like the direction F# is headed.
It doesn’t mean I’m going to drop C# any time soon, I’ll likely just use both - e.g. my more math heavy libraries will be F#, and my networking and Web API code in C#.
