Microsoft had to fix the C# compiler. The result was Roslyn. It's actually amazing that Roslyn was a successful project. Probably most software projects that ambitious fail. The project would have failed if they tried to make it F# com

The problem is F# does not use the Roslyn compiler (but does use other components of the Roslyn tool stack in Visual Studio) and it uses things in the IL (primarily tail calls) the other .NET languages do not -- and the rest of the Microsof

SqlProgrammabilityProvider of http://fsprojects.github.io/FSharp.Data.SqlClient/ basically does just that. I usually prefer the SqlCommandProvider part of this project, as the actual queries are transparent in your F#

Well actually there is an article along with the very fine graphic. I think the article could have expended a few more sentences on energy waste. That's all. This wasn't an attack.
