Wasn't intended in ANY way to be marketing. I didn't realize folks were using it to build other stuff. Gimme some links and I'll update the post.

- forki 13y agoActually I created it to build Microsoft Dynamics NAV applications, which were not .NET at that time.
- granicz 13y agoThis is what happens when you write about something without knowing much about its context. There is an awesome "new" universe out there - it's called functional programming. You are orbiting around it, but we all hope, for the better, that you discover it more.
- tpetricek 13y agoNot sure why the negative attitude..? A great thing about FAKE is that it can be used without worrying much about the context. Yes, it is written in F# and F# is mainly functional, but FAKE is just a great tool for anyone - and as Scott correctly points out, you don't even need to understand much F# to use it.
- granicz 13y agoI stand by what I wrote and it has nothing to do with any negative attitude, I meant no disrespect. Perhaps it's enough for you that people "don't even need to understand F#" to use F# tools (of which there are many excellent ones, FAKE being one), but I would much prefer that they did. This "context" would make any .NET developer more informed and I see no reason why we should hide F# from anyone. Perhaps I am too carried away, but I certainly want Scott to learn about and embrace FP so that he can pass that onto others, which, I hope you agree, he does pretty well.
