This looks very interesting in the same way as Clojurescript but with F# and potentially a smoother experience.
Has anyone used this that can provide some insight into it? Does it work with entity framework? OWIN? What's the story with the F# to javascript compilation; did they invent that or is it another project? Who are these people?
I think it's a shame that the C#/.NET ecosystem can't seem to have FOSS nice things because it really hampers stuff gaining traction. However I find the open source license for this is very clear and generous; I still can't seem to figure out if ServiceStack is safe to use :| This should allow for learning the framework and providing nice things to the community, and then the licensing seems reasonable compared to the value proposition for working on commercial software.
- tarmil 12y ago"Does it work with entity framework?" -> It works with whatever .NET db tool you want to use, it's entirely agnostic in this regard. "OWIN?" -> It can, with WebSharper.WebAPI [1]. "What's the story with the F# to javascript compilation; did they invent that or is it another project?" -> It's an in-house developed compiler. "Who are these people?" -> A Hungarian company called IntelliFactory. (full disclosure, I work at IntelliFactory.)

- DennisP 12y agoPerhaps worth mentioning, I recently saw a presenter say his company is moving away from Entity Framework in favor of F# type providers. Agree on FOSS. It's nice this company will license to me for opensource projects, but what happens if they go out of business?
- Rapzid 12y agoI'm not sure TBH, but most of their stuff is appears to be on github as well.
