Here's where F# shines - you could write your query like: products |> Seq.filter(fun a -> a.Type = ProductType.Bean) |> Seq.sortBy(fun a -> a.Group, a.Name)

Here's where F# shines - you could write your query like: products |> Seq.filter(fun a -> a.Type = ProductType.Bean) |> Seq.sortBy(fun a -> a.Group, a.Name) |> Seq.map(fun a -> a.Name) It doesn't save a lot of lines here, but the big difference is this: suddenly you aren't constrained by the syntax of the single Linq query. So you want an additional filter,join,merge happening in between? No problem!

Pretty noisy. Instead of: products |> Seq.filter(fun a -> a.foo =...) In another language you can do: products.filter(_.foo =...) Those `|> Seq...(fun a ->` all over the place look Java-ish ;-)

  They had to deal with the OCAML baggage instead of starting from scratch.
