Seems that way, but I wanted to invite anyone who knows more to comment. Alex's response uses extremely misleading language to justify the employer contact: - "account on our portal mentions Synack as his affiliation" amo

The "crazy generic path" is still the default, but in F# 4.0 now there is a module `NonStructuralComparison` which can be opened, shadowing all of the generic operators with fast non-generic guys. See [this]( http://blog

There are some decent samples on MSDN, 56 in F# at the time of writing. Most aren't GUI apps, but some are. https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/site/search?f%5B0%5D.Type=Pr... My "WPF Image Cropper" sample m

Great list, but could use more F# love! Lots of cool/useful open source projects are always popping up in the F# community - http://fsharp.org/community/projects/ Favs of mine from that list: Visual F# Power

+1 on this - getting ASP.NET working really well on Linux/Mac, with first-party framework and VM, is the main goal for all of the in-flight .NET Core CLR open source stuff. That + console apps are literally all that's going to be

I'm a regular salaryman at Microsoft, and everything I've done for the past 2+ years has been open source. It's pretty cool, after having worked on traditional closed-source msft teams for my first ~5 years. I work on the F#

The Roslyn team themselves have had a site up very similar to this for a while ( http://source.roslyn.codeplex.com ), but covering only the Roslyn codebase itself. It has find all references (e.g. http://source.roslyn.c

This is how I prefer to handle PRs, too. `git merge --squash pr-branch`. Prevents the history from turning into an indecipherable tangle of branches, and prevents tons of "fixing typo," "code review feedback," "mor

The fact that rolling doubles causes some relationships to reverse (but some to stay the same) is very interesting and non-obvious, at least to me.

This is not quite accurate. fsharp/fsharp is the F# Open Edition repo, and has existed since long before the current (well, obsolete as of this week) Microsoft Visual F# repo on Codeplex. The F# Open Edition repo targets Linux/Mac

Very cool, Idris looks like a really interesting language. F#'s standard printf-family functions are all type-safe in exactly the same way. This requires special support by the compiler, though, as F#'s type system is not as power

You can certainly annotate 3rd-party libraries. You basically just copy the signatures of the relevant APIs, and decorate arg types and return types with units that enforce the semantics of the problem domain. Say you have some unit-free ex

F# highlighting is also now totally gone with this change. Code is highlighted with some random lexer than doesn't even understand // comments. Rather frustrating, given that a lot of F# development is centered around GH, and
