Why your F# evangelism isn't working

Obviously it's because F# is just G... And G is a stupid name for a language. At least C# = D-flat, which looks a little like Db, so it's a great language for database stuff. See? Completely logical (In no way whatsoever).
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

I am seriously considering re-writing that web server code/article in F# just to see what it looks like. ;) Marc

Actually, what I've done in F# is really quite elegant. I think it all depends on who writes the code and how it's written. ;) Marc

Bleh... That's what I get for trying to be clever today... Got woken up at 3am, so running on less sleep than usual... But G-flat is still a stupid name for a language :)

Prolly is. Sorry, I just couldn't resist. Functional languages just look so consarned ugly sometimes. :)

I agree -- there's a draw to making things as idiomatic and terse as possible, which only detracts from a language like F# expect for seasoned FP devs. I'll ping you when I publish the article on writing a web server from scratch, but with an F# implementation, and see what you think. Marc

Sounds great. I am interested to see it. Thanks for including me.
