I've been writing small programs for fun in F# for the past couple of weeks. It's nice.
My main frustration with it is its lack of community. The Elixir forums are absolutely terrific; there is seemingly tons of knowledge sharing going on between passionate members of the community. The same with most other languages: if I Google how to solve a specific problem, an answer or an answer to an adjacent problem will pop up. That's true for Swift, Go, C#, Python...
It's not true for F#. F# seems to me almost like a dead language judging from the lack of relevant Google results, zero YouTube presence, no jobs where I live (northern Europe).
Is there a vibrant F# community somewhere online that I've missed?
- pbiggar 5y agoIt's pretty vibrant on twitter and my Stackoverflow questions have gotten answered as soon as I ask them. I think in terms of actual community they have a discourse but it's dead because it's so hard to sign up for.
- Nelkins 5y agoIt's on Slack. See a previous comment of mine: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24981397 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24981397
- dharmaturtle 5y agoAlso Discord, though a bit smaller than the Slack: https://discord.gg/R6n7c54 https://discord.gg/R6n7c54
