I see some F# praising in here. any good learning resources one can recommend to me (Ik I can "google it" or whatever. I mean something you had experience with and would recommend)

I haven't tried Fable 3 yet, but I can speak to Fable 2 (F#) vs ReScript/ReasonML (OCaml). F# was heavily inspired by OCaml, it was originally intended as "What would OCaml look like running on .NET?" so the languages themselves share a lot of similarities. ReasonML pros: - ReasonML compilation times were much faster than Fable 2, but Fable compile times weren't bad. OCaml is ridiculously fast. - OCaml has an interes…
I think you are missing the biggest advantage of F#: computation expressions. Computation expressions are like do-notation and list comprehensions in one feature. Now that I have tried them, I don't want to go back to a language without!
- compare their experience with ReasonML since they both have the same OcaML pedigree
- offer any perspectives on efficiencies of various constructs? For example, do things like seq add additional complexity or are about as efficient as for loops?
- discuss the output size .. by virtue of using .net libraries versus javascript builtins?
We're an F#-first company and I'd like to share our experience here. All our new code is in F#, we started off from a C# codebase, so that made the transition somewhat manageable, as new F# code can be directly called from C#, and vice versa (still took over 2 years). All new frontend apps are also being written in F# (using Fable), as of 6 months back, migrating away from TypeScript, this forces everyone into a "des…
Is it the functional paradigm, your framework, some of both?

This looks like a great update: prettier code output plus roughly double the compilation speed. Compilation speed is one of the things that put me off Fable when I kicked the tires a while ago. That and tooling was a mess. I really like F# as a language, but it's hard to give up the high quality tooling of VS Code + TypeScript + almost any NPM package w/ proper types.
Ended up using Typescript instead and it doesn't feel as clean.
