    F#

    Has anyone worked with this language? What has been your experience? I would like to jump in on this and get started. Any tips?
    Here are the rules, you must obey them or the gender bender will get you.

    And if you ever think of posting without code-tags, the evil monkey will come after you.

    MSDN, for docs. F# is included in VS2010 by default... Here's a link to their code documentation

    Well, no link, but I do know that it even comes into SharpDevelop .

    I was just curious how development worked in it. Was it difficult? Was there an increase in development speed? What about the number of issues/bugs that cropped up? Is it easy to scale?

    Re: F#

    My experience was that F# required a fair amount of adjustment in thinking. I write in (about) a dozen languages and most of them were very easy to pick up (if you understand any procedural or OO language, you understand them all, mostly). F# was a notable exception; it took significantly longer to learn.

    However! The language is quite interesting and I enjoyed programming in it. Purely from the perspective of nice functional programming languages, I might recommend Haskell or Erlang. The major benefit of F# over those is access to the entire .NET library.

    I found this wikibook to be extremely helpful: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/F_Sharp_Programming
