Screw C#. Xamarin's party trick is F#. It's basically Swift, on steroids, which lets you write a single codebase to target Android, iOS and Windows Phone.

  Has anyone actually done this?

    Yes. I don't know of any big apps like Rdio that you would recognize yet, because Xamarin hasn't supported F# that long, but there are cross-platform apps being written in F# now.

      Actual consumer apps, or in-house line of business apps for corporations?

        I believe Tachyus (http://tachyus.com http://tachyus.com) is using Xamarin + F# for their product.
        • gress 12y ago
          So, no. Not a consumer app.

  "...F#. It's basically Swift..." - that slow after compilation???
