It's an almost-verbatim copy of OCaml. How is it going to deliver any better?
- danieldk 12y agoInstant availability of the entire .NET ecosystem? Good IDE? Support for parallelisation within a proces?
- fsloth 12y agoCaveat: I can vouch for the following only on Windows desktop. I would say F# is an implementation that includes all the good parts of Ocaml the language and .Net the ecosystem. Very good tooling. A feasible multithreading story. Industry level support. A pet of mine: Has ecosystem support for real time graphics (OpenTK, Monogame, etc).
- lpw25 12y ago> I would say F# is an implementation that includes all the good parts of Ocaml the language I like F#, but this just isn't true: - Polymorphic variants - GADTs - Module system The last one, in particular, is one of the best features of OCaml.
- fsloth 12y agoSorry, I was a bit imprecise. I was thinking only about basic stuff like list operations being supported in the basic syntax, algebraic datatypes, pattern matching and optional mutability.
