    I got my copy of MSDN magazine today. There's an article about F#, and that got me thinking - does anyone here actually use it? I'd be interested in hearing your comments.

    I don't think there is a forum for F# yet (at least I couldn't find it), but there are some articles: How To Learn F#[^]

    Best wishes, Hans

      Thanks. That's good to know, but it didn't answer my question. I'm curious about how popular the language is and is anyone taking it seriously?

              Good idea! What am I doing learning PHP when I can learn an even less useful language‽

                      No, but I've heard the String class in G# is eye-popping! :)

                        I started out in assembler and c language. Then went to C++ and PHP on the side. Eventually I tried C#, and after initial reservation, liked it. Once you loose your pride, the rest is easy. :-D

                            Nope, heard about F# but never seen anyone done anything with it. Apparently the people in this forum didn't really answer your original question, only snide remarks. So assume that they do not use F# either. :)

                              oh its not about pride, its about time... i'm very busy with other things at this point in my life... and i'm not even a software developer, i'm an electrical engineer, so learning new software is not exactly part of my workday (or learning old software for that matter)

                                      I was investigating on using it for DSL (Domain Specific Language). I am now leaning more towards Ruby.

                                        My favorite VS add-in[^] is largely written in F#. I've learned some F# and like it (I like ML in general) but don't think it has a bright future.

                                          I got my copy of MSDN magazine today. There's an article about F#, and that got me thinking - does anyone here actually use it? I'd be interested in hearing your comments.

                                          Everything makes sense in someone's mind

                                          Why F#? Is there a point for Microsoft to come up with yet another programming language that (if I understand the hype correct) will compile to exactly the same intermediate language as both C# and VB?
