Introduction to Functional Programming in OCaml

If only my workplace used Azure for some stuff. We're moving to serverless architecture for a lot of our apps, but it's all on AWS so no F# :(. The other .NET guy at my company (wpf) and I have been singing the praises of Azure and using .NET core for future developments. I think that they'll eventually throw us a bone since they don't want to be dependent on a single cloud provider.

However, I have messed around with data manipulation in F# for sports betting, and it's been exceptionally pleasant.

Love the work you guys are doing on the F# team.

F# actually rusn _very_ well on AWS. There is some official scaffolding tooling you can use[0], and performance with .NET Core is more than sufficient for what your business likely needs[1]. Love this quote: "Both C# and F# on .Net Core 2.0 exceeds all expectations and outperforms all other runtimes in average duration".

Thanks for the compliment! And I hope that it all goes well with you.

My company runs F# + .NET Core on AWS Lamba (almost our entire backend infrastructure). We've been very happy with it.
