F# exists
- cies 2y agoYups. And that's about it for F#. One can await the announcement that MSFT stops maintaining it.
- RandomThoughts3 2y agoPeople have been predicting the imminent demise of F# since its first version 20 years ago.
- devmunchies 2y agoA lot of major C# features were first implemented in F#. I think of it as a place for Microsoft engineers/researchers to be more experimental with novel features that still need to target the CLR (the dotnet VM). Sometimes even requiring changes to the CLR itself. In that lens, it has had a very large indirect financial impact on the dotnet ecosystem.
- runevault 2y agoI keep (seems mistakenly) expecting them to try and push F# along with their dotnet ML tooling more since, while it is strictly typed, F# lets you mostly avoid making your types explicit so exploration of ideas in code is closer to Python than it is to c# while giving you the benefits of a type system and lots of functional goodies.
