- adenozine 6y agoThe NET ecosystem is too heavily built for C#. The documentation is hard to use, and nearly non existent for F#. I looked at it before I started digging into Ocaml. I interact with Linux far more than anything else, I think Ocaml is just going to be more useful to me, more often. I really admire Don Syme though. He's one of the most intelligent people in software, by my reckoning. Literally a brilliant genius in a field littered with mediocre hacks that work real hard to ship things. He's a real legend. Thanks for the suggestion though. Maybe some folks will come across it for the first time now. It's a well designed syntax, and has some really interesting features. Units of Measure in particular is a really cool thing I've needed before, I usually just use data classes and decorators in python to do a lookup, and just pay the performance penalty. It's neat to have that info at compile time for free.

- ducaale 6y agoI was to introduced to F# through the excellent fsharpforfunandprofit blog[1]. I wonder if there is a similar thing for other ML-like languages [1] https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com
- clockworkfrogs 6y agohttps://blog.janestreet.com/ https://blog.janestreet.com/ is fantastic. Jane St are a hedge fund doing some seriously heavy lifting in OCaml land, and they sometimes write up really interesting stuff they've done. It's less tutorial-like than fsharp for fun and profit, though.
