I share your opinion on the settings and command line. While I like it to loads faster than full fledged Visual Studio, in a year or so of using it on Mac OS I still doesn't use even 1% of its features because they are not _discoverabl

If the taxis are doing a strike, you can speak of strike breaking only for taxis not participating in it. Uber are not taxis per se, so there is no way they can break a strike they aren't doing in the first place. Also there seems to b

When translating slogan (or movie, book titles) it's not only the meaning we're trying to convey but also rhythm, intonation, mood, etc. In this framework "pensons" is way better than "réfléchissons" that is wa

I think people wanting to use C# will stick to it, not learning another language to use it the same way as the one they already know. The real value of objects in F# lies in the CLR compatibility. Access to the BCL and some existing code is
