From a language design standpoint, it's kinda damning... Since it's launch C# has reversed itself on fundamental language decisions and requirements to go ever closer towards F#s capabilities. Unfortunately, thanks to F#s function

Their strategy is to make bank. Traditionally MS was laughed out of vast swaths of academia, research, and Enterprise solutions. Now, they're making ever more bank off of Azure, and want to get their products deeper into those markets

Can you make a language that looks like F# and compiles? Sure. Can you make F# the language meaningful on other VMs? Not really, as F# is a deep, deep, .Net language. This isn't about abstraction or syntax, it's that every conce

Re F# tooling and IDEs: sadly the churn around the transition to .Net Core has really hurt F#s tools. Things that were stable and working since inception, and enabled highly productive workflows, have been trampled by missing features and s

It's the delineation of 'hype' and 'excitment' that is tricky. If magic CPUs that were 10x better showed up tomorrow we'd all be justified in being very excited. But running with hype around the next Zune? ...

Being beholden to beliefs is common to all people. But worship, to show reverence and adoration (for a deity), implies something entirely different than belief. Worship implies faith (ie belief in the absence of evidence). That difference

One of the lines popular in "4D space chess" (ie Starcraft), is: "when you're ahead, get more ahead". That is to say, don't just press your advantage to end the game (high risk, error prone), press your advant

We've had this for ages now: the F# type provider gives strongly types access to CSV files, and the resulting object heiarchies are LINQ compatible. There's even support for applying units of measure. Veeeery nice for data mungi

My personal opinion is that people are sleeping on local HTML apps. Local files, if you want, make everything lightning fast. Hosting your own web-browser lets you hook into whatever you want, and handle it however you want. A local serve

F# is a "second class citizen" for all .Net tooling from MS, as C# is more popular. Luckily it is a first class citizen in language capabilities, and is years ahead of C# on that front ;) Ionide doesn't seem to require mono,

I don't think this issue is unique to MS, but thanks to their historical business markets (Office, small-to-medium businesses), and product portfolio the sense is that many Azure services are spider-webs of related products. That fee

IMO the issue isn't MS, really (though parts of the org are still worthy of strong skepticism), it's the cultural phenomenon of a certain generation of developers who essentially eat, breathe, and die by Microsofts product cycles

With the right kind of cross-compiler I believe that C# and shim libraries are a near-ideal way to handle javascript development... You've got a strongly typed OOP langauge on top that is also pleasantly dynamic and anonymous when it w

Bro... 150 minutes, 3 times a week? You're alreday on the G.D. ironman regime, using extra time, and doing it in a grueling fashion aimed at leaving you depleted, too. No wonder you don't have daily time! I don't know what

I think the big bad habit is not doing what you do, ie no caloric intake before training. Most people who try sneaking a quick snack before training, or break their fasts with milk in their coffee/tea, and then eat breakfast after tra

Protein powder is essentially powdered milk. I don't think you can really 'cheat' with it, it's just 'food' :) Random pro-tip: unflavoured whey powder goes into just about anything (and is 150% less gross than
