Try using F# if you don't like the verbosity and over-OO-abstraction. It's fantastic.

They are similar in that F# was the first .NET language to say, "what could language constructs for asynchrony look like?" and implement it. They are fundamentally different models, though. F# uses a "cold task" model wh

No it's not. This is a tutorial on error handling that happens to be monadic. The emphasis is on handling errors, not talking about monads.

The APIs that you as the programmer are supposed to invoke tend to be well-documented and fairly well-designed. But there's some parts in there I certainly wouldn't call elegant. For example, if you trace function calls from htt

There's a happy middle ground there. At the call site is where it matters a lot more. If you have a function that's basically nothing but a pattern matching expression, the name of a parameter matters a lot less than the name of
