Aardvark – Real-time graphics and visualization in F#

I was just trying to create generative graphics in Corman Lisp [1], since it creates Windows executables, and then I stumble upon this. The Game of Life demo in the examples directory is fun. I have been playing with F# a few times a year, waiting for something like this to come along. Very exciting. I started using Julia, but several years ago Jon Harrop had a book out "F# for Scientists" a rework of his "OCaml for Scientists" book. That was 2008.

The incremental bit was recently refactored out into its own library (https://github.com/fsprojects/FSharp.Data.Adaptive) which should open up some interesting uses going forward.

There's all kinds of cool crazy stuff this is being used for:

This is really cool and encouraging for someone getting started in F#.

As did I. I used this a lot at university and learned a lot from its solid network of users.

F# is great, but MS has decided to kill it through neglect. And the few people paid to work on it spend their time trying to keep it working with the 9000 other changes done to the rest of the tooling.
