F# with Giraffe is super simple to get up and running and it fits into the rest or the ASP.NET Core ecosystem

I'm constantly impressed by ways people manage to extend C# like this. I'll have to try this out :)

> Is F# still the red-headed step-child of Core? Yup. Although this doesn't really come into play with server code in my experience. I don't imagine I'd want to deal with it writing WPF / UWP things though where langu

I definitely appreciate being able to drop into an OOP style when I find it's necessary. In a talk Don Syme (F#'s original designer) goes into aspects of OO he enjoys, those understands the usefulness of, and those he does not enj

EF isn't really needed with Dapper and the available SQL type providers. Even still it's totally naturally to have a C# project holding the base EF stuff which you reference from your F# projects

There's actually a couple of minor things (like covariance). I was surprised to learn F# doesn't support creating sealed methods on classes the other week when I was extending some OO code. Thankfully F# and C# mix so well togethe

I really encourage you to use F#, as someone who's done C# for a long time I find F# (while not perfect) does strike near to that ideal balance of FP / imperative you speak of. Writing functional code naturally is a breeze, while

There's no compiler warning for incomplete matches, and without discriminated unions it's pretty verbose to write pattern-match friendly types C# has support for most F# features, they're just often awkward to use

Clojure for the Brave and True has a really nice Emacs primer

Usually when working with immutable data you don't need to copy it around, you can just pass it around via reference, and the data structure will support cheap "updates". You can see this in F# and Clojure where immutable map

@await does look like line noise, but if they're considering giving other constructs a postfix syntax, I think the noise is justified. Overloading the dot operator creates confusion, it gives the impression that .await is somehow relat

As much as I liked Clojure when I dabbled for a few months it didn't really fix my dislike for dynamic languages, but I imagine core.typed / spec would fix that for me if I gave it another shot I loathed dynamic typing mostly beca

Personally, I have a bad working memory and struggle to remember the structure of data. I constantly have to jump around and try to find the name of things / recall their hierarchy With static typing I can just highlight a type /

All the ways we have to write native UI applications aren't exactly great though, and most aren't cross platform. Node always struck me as a strange trend but using web tech for UIs seems like a good fit for a lot of cases

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the JVM and CLR assume they're working with GC'd languages and a number of other things? Making them poor targets for many languages, and AFAIK a WASM runtime is a lot more ligh

Looking at the physical world it seems what "I" am is the integration of the cells/components of my body with the rest of universe to create a point of experience. That point of experience only exists with the integration of

That's one interpretation. I'm more particular to the interpretation that hell is a fire that destroys a soul (true death, not eternal torture) which some scriptures suggest, or that hell is an afterlife with the creators love.

F# touches on most of these points doesn't it?
