Yes, of course. Glad you're enjoying programming in it. I'd love to learn it for fun if I didn't have any time constraints. Dabbling in a bit of StandardML and F# at the moment. Just to get a basic understanding of functional programming. I'm a data analyst, not a developer. So as you can guess, I write Python and SQL mostly. These languages are quite different from what I'm used to.

I keep responding to you just by your comments triggering some things I am interested in, lol, but if you're interested in data science and F#, check out .NET Interactive notebooks in Visual Studio Code and the Plotly.NET package.

  hahaha.. Thank you for comment. Yes, I actually signed up for a course on Udemy and did some F# after a few lessons on SML from Dan Grossman on Coursera. My company has bet big on .net and our products have been developed on .Net. So that's another reason to learn F# for me. I find it quite interesting and am surprised that it doesn't have as much adoption as Python or R!

One thing I loved when looking at F# was Type-Driven Development that I imagine could be quite applicable to data modelling (as in, piping stuff around and sanitising). This has possibly had the biggest impact on how I think about programming out of anything I've done! https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/series/designing-with-types/ https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/series/designing-with-type... You might also find this interesting: https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/recipe-part2/ https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/recipe-part2/ Another thing - if you find you write small scripts in Python to read a file or parse some stuff or plot a couple things but these aren't for production, Racket has an amazing library of basically everything you could need. It's actually very practical as a scripting language.
