F# doesnt work ootb with sdk preview2. Work ok with preview1 of SDK (win/ubuntu/osx/docker), but preview2 has a bug, the fix is in progress ( ref https://github.com/dotnet/netcorecli-fsc/issues/12 ) and will be published a nuget package with fix soon.

You reported the issue 11 days ago. I'm surprised they just announced it with such a basic use case being broken. It doesn't bode well for F# as a first class citizen in their ecosystem.

F# is not a first class citizen. They pay it lip service because it's a far more advanced language and makes MS look like they're on the cutting edge. Plus the team that made it is responsible for dragging the CLR into the modern era (or into the 60s) by bringing generics. And showing off important features on .NET such as quoted code, async workflows, F# interactive. But a simple look at tooling and language announcements shows that the F# team is very underfunded.

sudo apt-get install dotnet-dev-1.0.0-preview2-003121 ... some second later... >> This software may collect information about you and your use of the software, and send that to Microsoft. Edit: Please visit http://aka.ms/dotnet-cli-eula for more information. The link is a 404 on GitHub

Fixing now...

Fixed.

Even more details on .NET and Kestrel in a more recent episode just a few days ago: http://dotnetrocks.com/?show=1312

My bad. I think I meant that one! There website without JS enabled is terrible these days, so I search around with Google and that was from a FB post I scanned.

Yes, their new site is terrible, I much preferred the simple site they had before that loaded quickly. The new animations, modals and UI buttons are a big downgrade and I'm surprised they went with it considering some of their prior podcasts.

A few years ago, I wouldn't have thought I would write this, but it looks like Microsoft is definitely changing, for the best!

Two questions:

- Does .NET Core offers something similar to Go goroutines or Erlang "lightweight" processes?

- And something similar to gofmt?

FYI, from the announcement. Probably the most important part at the end, italicized by me. Also note (elsewhere) that licenses are MIT and Apache2: .NET Core Tools Telemetry The .NET Core tools include a telemetry feature so that we can collect usage information about the .NET Core Tools. It’s important that we understand how the tools are being used so that we can improve them. Part of the reason the tools are in Pr…

So it is bad when Microsoft asks to do it, but ok when Eclipse, Netbeans or InteliJ do it? They are being quite open about it and how to turn it off.

I don't think the previous comment is suggesting it is bad. I think they're trying to stave off any "OMG! MS is looking at your porn!" posts, by highlighting the privacy policy of the telemetry; which sound reasonable to most people.

From what I see Samsung has been contributing on that front. They said in the announcement that Samsung has joined the Dotnet Foundation.

Yeah, the only problem with Samsung is that they most likely going to make builds for the Exynos based SOC which isn't that wide spread. The ARM ecosystem is quite fragmented and depending on how you build your software it's not as portable as one would assume. It's also not clear which instruction sets they are going to be aiming for Exynos started with ARMv7 + all the stuff that Samsung added to it, but the newer s…

Well, I imagine that if someone offers support for those platforms they won't say no. But they'd probably also need for stuff such as the CI chain.

also on HN frontpage: Woman wins $10,000 judgment against Microsoft for forced Windows 10 upgrade: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11985904 As everytime a negative MS news is featured on HN, suddenly two positive news suddenly appear with many upvotes - what a coincidence.

We've been through this before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11844253. Please stop commenting like this here.

Presumably the .NET announcements were pre-scheduled, so if there is any connection between these posts, it must go the other way. But I don't believe there is. On the contrary, coincidence is almost certainly what we're seeing here, and in that case it is probably only the strength of your feeling about this topic that makes you see it otherwise.

If I'm an experienced Python developer who develops a lot of websites and APIs using Django or Flask and SQLAlchemy, is there any reason to try this stuff? C# is a great language, but what about the libraries? What replaces Flask? What replaces SQLAlchemy? How do I deploy? Looking for some practical reasons to invest time on this if Windows development is not in my roadmap.

No. If you really want a high performance Windows friendly server software, try Java. But honestly I would not use .net for anything past excel plugins.
