A comment on Formal methods only solve half my problems. Parent comment
Some features:
- open-source
- cross-platform
- quick editing with syntax highlighting, type annotations etc. in VS Code
- run in a single command (‘dotnet fsi script.fsx’)
- type-safe but with global type inference
- grab dependencies using directives in the script (no project manifests or global dependencies)
The added safety of a typed language is fantastic for scripting because it’s not worth writing tests for most scripts.
