The videos were working earlier in the week...they're returning a 403 now. Repo with slides: https://github.com/jinyus/Fsharp-Teaching

Seems like someone needs to restart some server somewhere. I'll investigate. Videos should be back up soon :)

Fixed now!

Looks very cool!

I'd advise Cuni to host the course on something like EdX/Coursera/... to:

a) Increase the visibility of the university

b) Allow students to go through the course asynchronously

c) Provide certificates for completing the course and possibly recuperate some money off of that :)

I started down this path sometime last year with Crafting Interpreters and I’ve gotten obsessed with this entire world since. I wrote a little language [0] using Python Lex Yacc a couple of months ago because I wanted an awk-like way to quickly make graphs/charts from the CLI. Then I wrote a parser-as-a-type in TypeScript [1] for the same grammar.

My plan was to take a look at OCaml for future tinkerings with parsers, but man, F# is already looking very familiar between TypeScript and Lex/Yacc-like things.

Thanks for this post, I think I might have a new favorite language in the oven!

Speaking of F#, are there any tutorials/demos on how to set it up on Linux, to run WinForms, without runtime mismatch issues?

You should be able to use Avalonia UI[1] as an alternative GUI layer on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android. There is a beautiful functional MVU wrapper around it called Avalonia.FuncUI[2] with Avalonia.FuncUI.Elmish[3] which is an implementation of Elmish[4] (based of the Elm language[4]) for F#.

Also take a look at Fabulous[1]. The code with it looks nicer than Avalonia.FuncUI.

F# is a better TypeScript :)

What’s the best hard copy book on the language?
