#2One observation from watching Go and Rust gain popularity is that having an online code evaluation tool like https://play.rust-lang.org/ or https://play.golang.org/ can do wonders for adoption. People can experiment in a sandbox without having to hop into a development environment, and peers have an easier time debugging by easily sharing and reproducing problems.
For anyone interested in trying out F# online, looks like Microsoft Research has such a tool: http://www.tryfsharp.org/Create. Unfortunately looks like you have to create an account of some sort to share scripts, so these alternatives might be better:

I like this one https://dotnetfiddle.net/ (F# needs to be selected as a language)

If you want to try an F# to JavaScript compiler. Try Fable:

I don't know if there's such a thing (maybe I should write one myself, as I plan to learn F# :) ), but a cheat sheet that is a bit higher level would be useful.
Things like:
* how do I read a text file
* how do I write a text file
* how do I download a file using HTTP
* ...

#8Just a reminder: Scott Wlaschin's book, F# for fun is a great free resource for people interested in F#. It's available here: https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/
If you have a short attention span, I recently started posting sped up screencasts on twitter that range between 1-2 minutes. https://twitter.com/FSharpCasts
If there's a feature you want to see, let me know. I take requests.

Rosetta Code might help there:
- http://rosettacode.org/wiki/File_input/output#F.23
- http://rosettacode.org/wiki/HTTP#F.23
However, it's probably not terribly interesting since those are things that exercise the BCL, so any C# example would do to show you how it's done.

That's a great idea. I think most people come to F# knowing a bit of .NET already, so these types of things are often overlooked.
