I use this plugin everyday.

It's got some serious bugs that make my heart stop.

The biggest one is Undo. Looks like the plugin keeps it's own list of modifications that were performed. So when sometimes I press "u" to undo the latest change - Visual Studio gets suspended for a minute or two, and all my changes that I did since I opened Visual Studio (could be a day or a week) are pretty much gone. The work around is to close the file without saving.

Every release C# becomes more like F# (only with different syntax)

Funny thing is that this was posted 3 days ago : http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3111258

and it only got 5 points

And the link was to the page of one of the guys who did research.

Isn't that since Computing falls under umbrella of Mathematics and there is no Nobel prize for Mathematics (due to Nobel's wife having lover who was a Mathematician, so Nobel excluded the whole Math field from getting the prize) - Computing must have Turing Award instead

It's an awesome video. Thank you for posting it. I wish I could upvote you more than once

Do you really need to ?

> Ocaml also has the potential to be faster. At least in the single core case.

F# can only go as fast as .NET. Compiled OCaml though is very fast - I completely agree with you.

I meant that the syntax of OCaml is more verbose. In F# (now that the #light directive is a default) you need less comparing to OCaml. Do not need to add ;; to terminate an expression (except for in REPL). Do not need to have "done" to close every loop declaration. Do not need to have "in" for "let" declarations.

I programmed OCaml for couple of years, and now I've been programming F# for past 3 years.

OCaml is more verbose than F#. F# is on par with Python.

F# besides having all features of OCaml. (You could (and maybe still can) compile OCaml using F# compiler.) also has some nice extras. Workflows (think monads in Haskel). Workflows in turn used to implement Asynchronous Workflows, and mailbox thread processing. So you get Erlang style multithreading.

Another point for F#: since it's on .Net and .Net actually runs on multicore machines the way one would think it should run. OCaml on the other hand has garbage collection that does not play with multicore very well.

Last but not least: F# can call any .Net function or create any .Net object -> you have access to a lots of things out of the box. F# - batteries included; OCaml - batteries are not included.

[Edit - spelling and formatting]

He talks about C# 4.0, but F# is not mentioned at all. Once you switch from OCaml to F# you never go back.

Can you elaborate on your skills ?

F# is fine as well

But Microsoft is not in charge of Mono, plus Microsoft is applying Community Promise to Mono (http://www.microsoft.com/interop/cp/default.mspx).

this is from QA section:

Q: Is this Community Promise legally binding on Microsoft and will it be available in the future to me and to others? A: Yes, the CP is legally binding upon Microsoft. The CP is a unilateral promise from Microsoft and in these circumstances unilateral promises may be enforced against the party making such a promise. Because the CP states that the promise is irrevocable, it may not be withdrawn by Microsoft. The CP is, and will be, available to everyone now and in the future for the specifications to which it applies. As stated in the CP, the only time Microsoft can withdraw its promise against a specific person or company for a specific Covered Specification is if that person or company brings (or voluntarily participates in) a patent infringement lawsuit against Microsoft regarding Microsoft’s implementation of the same Covered Specification. This type of “suspension” clause is common industry practice.

So it looks like that Mono is better off than JVM and Java
