some differences: - consume and produce .net libraries (everything c# can do except NullReferenceException) - type providers, explore and use an api, strogly typed but easier than dynamic (example http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dsyme/archive/2013/01/30/twelve-type-providers-in-pictures.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dsyme/archive/2013/01/30/twelve-type... or http://fsharp.github.io/FSharp.Data/library/Freebase.html http://fsharp.github.io/FSharp.Data/library/Freebase.html or http://fsharp.github.io/FSharp.Data/library/CsvProvider.html http://fsharp.github.io/FSharp.Data/library/CsvProvider.html) - computation expression, easier to create like attempt/maybe and some builtin like async/query - concurrency and async (battle tested multicore/threading/async using .net runtime) - light syntax as default, like python (whitespace). ocaml like syntax can be used but is not idiomatic - .net runtime and mono, really good vm - overloading operators (operators are function), so + instead of multiple function like + and +. try it - user groups list http://c4fsharp.net/groups.html http://c4fsharp.net/groups.html - browser http://www.tryfsharp.org/ http://www.tryfsharp.org/ - more info fsharp.org - open source http://github.com/Microsoft/visualfsharp http://github.com/Microsoft/visualfsharp (vs stuff) or http://github.com/fsharp/fsharp http://github.com/fsharp/fsharp (cross plat)
