This post is about latest feature added to f# language (syntax cleanup, speed, etc) why use a functional language? see http://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/ten-reasons-not-to-use-a-functional-programming-language/ http://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/ten-reasons-not-to-us... Why use f#? see http://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/why-use-fsharp/ http://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/why-use-fsharp/ (concise for programmers) or http://fpbridge.co.uk/why-fsharp.html http://fpbridge.co.uk/why-fsharp.html (more high level) more info about fsharp at http://fsharp.org/ http://fsharp.org/ my take: #ecosystem - vibrant and friendly community - open source (long time ago, use pr, wrote by community) - cross plat (linux/mac/win/ios/android) - is .NET, same standard library as C# or VB.NET and virtual machine (CLR). Finally open source - use nuget components written for .net - third party component with commercial support #language - fun to use - concise, i can easy write code without boilerplate - multi-paradigm (functional first, but can do oop like c#) - easy interop with c#, native - fast - help write correct code (no null reference => no null reference exception, pattern matching, - easy async, parallel, gpu - unit of measure (like 1<m/s> ) and a lot, read the links above for a better (and faster) summary
