I switched to Rider a few years ago. I really like it and I find its Vim emulation a lot lot better than what you can get for Visual Studio. Its F# support is ok, but I'd say VSCode+Ionide is better. But Rider isn't bad for F#

I'm on a number of tech discords, and an Atheist discord, and we use discord for work.... to me, the channels seem good. Usually there are generic channels, and then specific ones, some channels end up dead, but kind of doesn't m
