F# deserves its own category. You even get access to the .NET ecosystem for free. The developer experience is something else too.

- pjmlp 4y agoSame applies to Common Lisp, Scheme, Scala and Clojure on the JVM/JavaScript platforms. And Clojure also has a .NET implementation.
- tentacleuno 4y agoOoh, a Clojure .NET implementation? This is news to me. From a quick look at the website, it looks really good... but how is it in practice? One of the major advantages of F Sharp's .NET integration is that it's developed by Microsoft, as of course they pretty much created the ecosystem from scratch.
- fulafel 4y agoIt doesn't get that many public use cases, here's the biggest one I've seen: http://arcadia-unity.github.io/ http://arcadia-unity.github.io/ But it is being continuously kept up to date by Cognitect, along with active development on a clojure-clr-next version. Maybe it has a bigger population of non public users.
- fulafel 4y agoAlso: here's another implementation of Clojure on CLR, "Morgan And Grand Iron Clojure Compiler": https://github.com/nasser/magic https://github.com/nasser/magic (see also http://nas.sr/magic/ http://nas.sr/magic/) of which there's a great cmpiler implementation talk (at Clojure/North) somewhere on Youtube.
