What are some real world uses for this that people have used outside of their sandpit i.e. at work? I regularly see functional programming get voted to the top, but never any practical applications of such.

  Except it doesn't really exist anymore. Perhaps F# lives on within Walmart though. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/19/walmart-winds-down-jetcom-four-years-after-3point3-billion-acquisition.html https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/19/walmart-winds-down-jetcom-fo...

    The brand doesn't, but the tech is all over Walmart

If you're seeing F# in a project at work (and in production), isn't that real world use? Anyway, I just sat in a Mathematical Planning seminar with a guy from Quicken Loans who uses F# in production at work (Matthew Crews). He is also an author behind the Flips F# library. A quick list of F# libs for real world, everyday uses: * Pulumi / Farmer - code as infrastructure * FAKE - build tool * Fable - javascript transpiler * Feliz - react elements * FSharp.Data - parsing csvs, html pages * Http.fs - making http calls I've been using F# to parse CSVs at work and using result types and a ton of F# active patterns.
