- pbronez 5y ago> Fable is a compiler that translates F# source files to JavaScript and Python. interesting. So if you want to program python in a functional style, you can use Coconut to add functional features to python, or jump all the way to F# and just compile to python. Interesting to see two projects wind up in a similar place (compiling functional code to python) after starting in very different communities.
- bayesian_horse 5y agoThe major difference could be that type checking in coconut is optional. Not sure what that means for productivity and type safety.
- de_keyboard 5y agoIn F# you can type everything with `obj` and dynamic casting all over - not recommended but strictly speaking typing is optional there too.
