This looks like a great update: prettier code output plus roughly double the compilation speed. Compilation speed is one of the things that put me off Fable when I kicked the tires a while ago. That and tooling was a mess.
I really like F# as a language, but it's hard to give up the high quality tooling of VS Code + TypeScript + almost any NPM package w/ proper types.
- natchy 6y agoWas trying to use F# at work for a backend service and got shut down. Ended up using Typescript instead and it doesn't feel as clean.
- christophilus 6y agoTypeScript is nowhere near as clean as any FP language I’ve used. But it’s hard to deny that TypeScript has better tooling and 1st class library support.
- zamalek 6y ago> it's hard to give up the high quality tooling of VS Code + TypeScript + almost any NPM package w/ proper types. This is my gripe exactly. If you gave me Svelte# and we'd be talking (my TS is pretty functional otherwise).
