Is concurrency supported?
what exactly do you mean by ‘concurrency’ ? F#’s async workflows are supported. Not sure how this is implemented behind the covers - I guess it get’s compiled to JS promises.
Good point. I guess I meant parallelism instead.

Yep. We’re using F# React on the front-end, Giraffe on the back-end. DustyTables for Data Access. It’s great - can recommend.
Is the market for F# picking up now in 2020? At my current job we're not using F# but I'd like to eventually move to a place that does. I am learning on my own at the moment and am wondering how open the potential hiring companies would be with novices in F# who otherwise have good experience in other languages.
It’s a niche, but it exists and is growing.
If you want one and are willing to take a few compromises you’ll find one.
I have been intrigued by the SAFE stack lately https://safe-stack.github.io/ . Does anyone have direct experience with it?

Slightly off topic but it’s good to see that F# is finally getting some proper web love.

I think it can still be archived with web workers.

Wouldn't have even clicked if not for the brackets. My mind jumped to the crappy game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fable_III
Huh, today I learned "parenthesis" are called "round brackets" in UK
Is the only difference the ecosystem around the toolchains?

I have only done some toy projects on it so far, but am really digging it.
