My friend read that two years ago and now works for a small F# consultancy that sounds like a great place to work. He really recommends the book.

Thanks for sharing. Just curious what do people do with F# in real work nowadays? Always found it a bit peripheral comparing to Lisp, Clojure and other "main stream" functional languages.

From what I've heard it's mostly fintech, at least in places nearish where I live (Italy)

Interesting. Thank you, I thought they all use C++.
Yeah GP is right it's mostly fintech (I think G-Research is one of the larger users?) but Matt is working in domain-heavy apps like real estate where it works nicely
Category theory for programmers is also a great read if one is into FP.

It's a great read. I love how it shows the entire thinking process from requirements gathering through to delivery.
