Better how? For whom, and when?
How can a language be "better" than another?
If I'm in .NET land, I'd prefer to use F# absolutely whenever I can. It's not like there's big important things it can't do that C# can.
The biggest thing to me is that if software systems keep getting more and more complex, the need for language-oriented programming will increase along with it, and combinator libraries have been found, over the last 20 years or so, to be a good tool for creating embedded domain-specific languages.
- greyman 18y agoHi. This is interesting, because I specifically tried to avoid saying that one is better than other. ;-) I asked something else. Ok, so why do you prefer F#? (but please no flame ;-)).
- henning 18y agoF# supports functional programming better than C#, and functional programming is good for creating domain-specific languages.
