F# has fantastic concurrency support. Great support for Asynchronous operations and Multi Threading. Being a functional first language and immutable by default means most of the micro services are stateless and this means we can take advant

Have you ever used Jet? Try it, add a few things to your cart then add a few more and see what happens to the prices of the previous items. There are millions of permutations being computed behind the scenes. The system is computing prices

While I think F# is a great programming language. The article missed some good uses of it. Specifically the article missed one of largest F# deployment, in production, in the world at this point. We use F# at Jet.com and it powers every par

Many of the comments on here are pretty negative. I'm pretty sure it is partly because most startups are started in some Garage without 250 million in runway. That doesn't mean this won't work. The fact that they are in New Y
