I personally want a trimmed down version of .NET (perhaps the new Core CLR which is just 10 MB) so I can run F#.
Mono is too heavy and have millions other dependencies I dont want to grab.
Running a modern & practical functional language on RB Pi will be extremely joyful for me.
- FlyingSnake 12y agoDoes .Net micro framework fit the bill? http://www.netmf.com/ http://www.netmf.com/
- josteink 12y agoLast I checked, Micro is too small and lacks crucial things you want for everyday development, and that is for a normal developer, not a language runtime-designer. It was targeted mostly towards very low-specced hardware, closer to a Arduino than a Pi. I'm guessing things like F# relies on too much things which are not included here.
- Sanddancer 12y agoMicro's interpreted, and is missing a lot of the bits and pieces of .NET that make it a real nice platform to work with. So you end up with something slow, and a fairly limited standard library.
- akoeplinger 12y agofsharp on Ubuntu with Mono dependencies: sudo apt-get install fsharp [...] Need to get 22.2 MB of archives. After this operation, 66.0 MB of additional disk space will be used. Personally, I wouldn't call that heavy. Remember that the 10MB figure for CoreCLR you give is just for the runtime alone, it doesn't include any class libraries. The Mono runtime is in the same ballpark.
