F#

I've never used it... there's always a latest and greatest, its a headache to try and keep up with every single language... :wtf:

i still haven't even done C#... but i'm guessing i'll have to eventually... whether i like it or not... :laugh:

Ta, C#'s not a fad. ya might want to jump in.

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.

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

that's what you say now, but have you heard about F#!?!?! ;P :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

No, but I've heard the
Stringclass inG#is eye-popping! :)Best wishes, Hans

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. :)

JimmyRopesoh 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.

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?

I haven't used it yet although I've looked into it a bit. I think the point of F# is to appeal to particular programming problems that lend themselves to functional coding instead of typical procedural algorithms. So far the resources I've checked out regarding F# never address the language solely by itself, but attempt to line it up as a tool to use at the right times in order to supplement and ultimately coincide with other languages, such as C#. Haven't yet seen any major reason to spend a weekend learning it, however. It does indeed compile down to the same MSIL.

I got a book on haskell a while back. I've started reading the intro a couple of times but it talks about a whole programming mindset change to move to functional programming, so is F# something you ca pick up over a few days?
