Hi Friends!!
Sometime back I was going through the Microsoft's research site Channel9.
There I read about F# (FSharp). I was little bit curious about it.
So, I went through some sites and came to know what F # is all about.
Here, I am sharing little knowledge about what is F# and where it stands in today's ever changing development world.
F# is a statically typed functional programming language that targets the .NET framework. It shares a common core language with OCaml, another popular functional programming language, and draws ideas from many other programming languages, including Haskell, Erlang, and C#. In a nutshell this means that F# is a programming language that has a nice succinct syntax that feels a bit like scripting as we are able to execute the code interactively but has all the type safety and performance of a compiled language.
F# is a scripted/functional/imperative/object-oriented programming language that is a fantastic basis for many practical scientific, engineering and web-based programming tasks.
Some of the nice features of F# are:
- Interactive scripting like Python,
- The foundations for an interactive data visualization environment like MATLAB,
- The strong type inference and safety of ML,
- A cross-compiling compatible core shared with the popular OCaml language,
- A performance profile like that of C#,
- Easy access to the entire range of powerful .NET libraries and database tools,
- A foundational simplicity with similar roots to Scheme,
- The option of a top-rate Visual Studio integration,
- The experience of a first-class team of language researchers with a track record of delivering high-quality implementations,
- The speed of native code execution on the concurrent, portable, and distributed .NET Framework.
F# compiler can be downloaded from http://research.microsoft.com/fsharp/release.aspx.
