The Book of f#

From the beginning, one of the promises of the .NET Framework has been language interoperability; that is, developers targeting the platform could write code in one language and interact with code written in another language through the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI). Early examples often included a library written in C# utilizing a library written in Visual Basic, or vice versa. Ideally, this would allow developers to solve different problems using the best language for the job. In practice, things didn’t really work out that way, as developers tended to adopt either C# or Visual Basic and build entire solutions with that language. This is hardly surprising given that, with few exceptions, the differences between the languages have historically been purely syntactic (and the languages have only grown closer as the platform has matured). Now, after more than a decade, F# has emerged as the third major lan- guage in the .NET ecosystem. But what does F# offer that the traditional .NET languages do not, and why should you care?
