I would really recommend anyone who want's to get a taste of "real" function programming to develop some parser with parser combinators (I developed a java-parser). I started to understand a great deal of functional-programming concepts by using them...and they are so awesome! They are, in my optinion, a prime example where functional programming shines. I think they really had an impact on my journy through programming languages. I am just not sure about f#, but that's probably because I am so used to haskell.
