Hello! We're taking a look at improving these kinds of programming scenarios in F# for the next version of the language. Since F# is first-class in the jupyter experience, one of those hurdles is already done!
That said, improvements to the language can only go so far. We're trying to figure out what a good set of libraries for the whole range of ML tasks looks like for F# and .NET.
- tasogare 7y agoContinue the good work :) I use mostly C# out of habit but F# is my favorite in terms of expressiveness. I'm planning a series of educational videos in French about the language because it doesn't have the exposure it merits.
- Rapzid 7y agoI've been out of the scene for a bit but last I looked Miguel had created tensorflow bindings for .Net. With some magic require incantations I was able to get that into F# and it actually worked.. Looks like there is SciSharp now and that project looks like it's heading in the right direction. The key, IMHO, is going to be getting some influential people and projects on F# generating code and blog content. The user experience of getting setup for them and the audience they reach needs to be streamlined. From there if it JustWorks™ F# should do the rest of the selling :) And to digress, because I always mention this when talking about F#, it deserves a batteries included web framework story as good as Elixir's Phoenix.
