It also has syntax for structural typing where needed.

I must admit, I'm not desperate enough for new readers to hamstring my own publishing to my existing readers - so summary RSS feed is out for me. I'd consider delaying RSS publicat…

Known Octopress issue, apparently: http://hackingoff.com/blog/octopress-default-seo-flaws/ Thanks, patio11

Interesting; that's autogenerated by Octopress (or Jakyll). I'd never noticed it's missing the '/'.

I have yes, no mention of any issues from the tools (it even claims to like the sitemap).

I have a personal blog (mostly dev related); it's been going for a while. On a couple of specialist subjects (F# type providers being the main example) some of the posts are reason…

Packages generally work fine, although if they rely on native binaries they often require a bit of tweaking to point at the Linux .so rather than the windows .dll. That's uncommon …

As mentioned above, fsx files can be executed with the correct #! if fsharpi is installed.

I'd probably look into Paket (a nuget aware package/source dependency manager) for that. Sorry for the short answer, New Years celebrations beckon!

The F# community seem to be most active via twitter, Google+ and (slightly bizarrely) StackOverflow chat in my experience. /r/fsharp is pretty small, although I've always found it …

It is mainly Windows, but as stated in a few other answers people are using Mono in production. How long ago did you look around? I have to admit that it's only really become fully…

It should be possible to plug the F# binding backend into sublime; it expects to run as a separate process and have buffer states passed back and forth as JSON. I don't know much a…

As in a self executing file? Not the standard deploy story, but is in theory possible on Mono with a combination of F# compiler options to compile in all dependencies, and mono's "…

The lack of good instructions is definitely one! (Edit: although http://fsharp.org/use/linux/ covers the absolute basics pretty well) Up until recently, packaging was a bit of an i…

There are definitely people using F# on Mono in production, but it is the smaller brother still. Having said that, nearly all of the "core" projects are now being CI tested on mono…

Have a type provider ;) http://blog.mavnn.co.uk/type-safe-printf-via-type-providers/ And yes: syntax is not quite so nice.

Slightly blowing my own trumpet, but if you want a brief overview of the basics this might help: http://blog.mavnn.co.uk/type-providers-from-the-ground-up/

Un-functional might be a bit misleading for an ML-based, default immutable language. Impure might be slightly more accurate. Having seen F# written by C# coders who've just learnt …
