Ted Neward on F# - dnrTV
-
Ted Neward Introduces F#[^] I've only dabbled very slightly in F# so far but I find this a very accessible intro. I find you sometimes pick up things from oral presentations that you don't from written ones. I'm not sure why that is. However, multimedia complements rather than replaces written documentation.

Extremely interesting. I think this will have plenty of uses in the future. Game developers (or math-intensive app devs) could benefit from immutability and implicit parallelization of some methods. The curious thing is that I'm currently dealing with this stuff and perhaps F# would make it all easier.

((lambda (x) `((lambda (x) ,x) ',x)) '`((lambda (x) ,x) ',x))Yesterday I watched Douglass Crockford's "JavaScript - The Good Parts", and in it he likened JavaScript to Scheme but with syntax. I don't know which would be worse, JavaScript without closures and dynamic functions, or Scheme with syntax. ;P

I still do not get it though. From the examples I have seen, functional programming of this type will require more complexity of code. Is this meant for standard software design or specialized? That is, would people use this as a replacement of say C# or C++, and if so, why?

It's intended to convey greater expressiveness in fewer lines of code (similar to Ruby and Python). But as it's a new paradigm for most of us it will initially appear alien, so code will seem more complex.

No. They would use it in certain scenarios for which functional programming is better suited. Concurrent programming, for example. There seems to be a bit of a niche in the financial sector. I've seen the odd job requirement there. But I'm just going by what has been said elsewhere.

Yet another language I can hired to port programs from when companies can't freaking hire anyone after their F# guru leaves.
