  There's overhead in reading documentation, ex: all of asp.net core docs and examples are in C#.

    Does your proposed solution remove the need for reading documentation?
    • Scarbutt 6y ago
      No, the overhead will be in how to best map the F# to the C# code all the time while reading C# docs versus just not having this mental juggling in C#.

        There's barely any overhead to consuming c# libraries from f#. You type "open SomeLib" instead of "using SomeLib;" and "let x = SomeClass (foo, bar)" instead of "var x = new SomeClass(foo, bar)". You check return values with "match Option.ofObj value" instead of "if (value != null)".

  There's some level of friction in working with databases. Not insurmountable but painful.
