Unfortunately, C# can flail about adopting F# features yet the best feature of F# is something C# can never get:

Dependency Order Compilation

Except it does. And F# doesn't. F# just has in-order compilation. C# has an extra step to determine dependencies and compile them in dependency order.

The only thing for F# is that F# allows the user to determine the compilation order and show it in Visual Studio.

Sorry I wasn't clear, I meant in the following sense:

"One of the most common complaints about F# is that it requires code to be in dependency order."

In light of your statement I understand the way I put it made little sense.

Hi David, language designer here.

Can you give an example of where you'd want to take advantage of this in C#?

Thanks!

I don't understand the question, rather what's the point of it?
