For GPU, F# has prior art in targeting it, a notable one is https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/jet-gpu-powered-fulfillmen... I believe it is mostly about intrinsic libraries and dev…

Clef is a new backend for F# language aiming the language at concurrent systems use cases on native targets.

Are you contributing to FUD? :D

C# can't fix the wrong defaults, still lots more mutable by default, and statement oriented, as an example. average C# codebase looks different depending language version idioms, n…

Never under-estimates wrong defaults in a language, for example: C++, const modifier, verbose for more correct code (less mutable state, etc.) Rust, mut modifier, verbose for less …

Just a polling of HN hive mind on this critical matter. Worst case, let the "tried F# once/for real" ramblers unload their bag once more :)

One way to look at it, but consuming OOP libraries doesn't turn code into OOP. Also, FSharp.Core (which most F# code leans heavily on) is not OOP at all. F# promotes object program…

In C#, you can't use the await keyword in a non async method, so I find the argument short sighted.

/!\ this is just my perspective /!\ > would love to know why leaving it unbounded was decided upon. Might be I don't quite grok the culture of F#. You may look at more context in t…

In context of adding burden of having someone to translate for you in Japanese, the statement he made seems good enough and to the point. Maybe you are far too pre-assumtpive that …

For people who understand french (or can use translation tool) this is the only account back in 2019 of the events: https://www.lemonde.fr/pixels/article/2019/09/17/richard-sta... …

The closest thing is https://github.com/rspeele/Rezoom.SQL which once compiled in your F# project, can be used in C# by referencing the generated assembly. Although this is nothing…

Let the place remain tenantless few more months and they will.

https://fsprojects.github.io/Paket/paket-generate-load-scrip... is probably what you need if you enjoy using fsi and easily reference external libraries from script files.

And even more techniques in F# in it's type system and inlining

The reason is probably flowers (cannabis) versus leaves (tobacco)

How can they be considered a hack when they get baked in the BCL in so many places as well, not for interop purpose?

C# definitely will remain the number 1, and FP will remain used in a minority of places, until more people get exposed to it earlier in their cursus. The advantages are in the idio…

Have you learned to use it?

Sadly, JetBrains Rider is the sole .NET IDE without F# support.

> It's very hard to do it along the way if you aren't familiar with C# either. Which I keep overlooking with so many years of C#, I'm so sorry about that :( That being said, lookin…
