Matklad has hinted at this before, but it's funny how Rust is displacing ML dialects in domains where manual memory management is not at all necessary, simply because no ML has its tooling and deployment story straight.
- evntdrvn 4y agoI’m going to sound like a broken record, but F# is in the ML family and has wonderful tooling and the deployment story is getting dramatically better recently (it’s a little behind C# in its true native AoT compilation support, but it’s coming)
- platinumrad 4y agoHow do you build F#? I had a pretty bad time with FAKE/Paket the last time I tried it.
- evntdrvn 4y agoHonestly, the built in tooling has been good enough for me, in the .NET Core era (especially within the last few years). The MSFT CLI/IDE team has finally had the chance to fix some previous really annoying issues and limitations in the last few years, so the experience has gotten quite a bit smoother. I know people that looove Paket, especially in the F# community, but I’ve been happy enough with things now to not feel like I need to invest the effort in adopting it.
