Comment Feed for Channel 9 - 10-4 Episode 17: F# Intro http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/previewImages/100/467545_100x75.jpg Channel 9 - 10-4 Episode 17: F# Intro In this episode of 10-4, we take a quick look at F#, a new addition to the family of managed programming languages in Visual Studio 2010. F# is a multi-paradigm programming language. Though its focus is at functional programming, it's capable of producing object-oriented code like other .NET languages. Since it is a .NET language, it can interop just fine with other existing .NET languages. There is a lot to F#, more than we could possibly cover in a single 10-4 episode. So in this episode, we are just taking a brief look at the basic data types in F# as well as some more intermediate features like recursion, pattern matching, and partially-applied functions. For people wanting to following along with this episode, you can grab the latest F# CTP directly from the F# MSDN Dev Center: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/fsharp/default.aspx For more 10-4 episodes, be sure to visit: http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/10-4 hubFS: THE place for F#: http://cs.hubfs.net/ Don Syme's Blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/dsyme/ Dustin Campbell's Blog: http://diditwith.net/ Chris Smith's Blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/chrsmith/default.aspx Luke Hoban's Blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/lukeh/ 10-4!

I've not watched this yet, but am going to try your Dan Ingalls rectangle test in WPF, because logic dictates to me that WPF may be more object oriented than Windows Forms i.e. you should have to undergo less ceremony in WPF but I may be wrong. Not coded it yet.

Is F# going to be supported out of the box in VS 2010?

And yes, as mentioned in the description, F# will be included in VS2010.

edit: Okay I googled a bit and found a couple of things.

  1. F# is strongly-typed, Lisp is not.
  2. F# is not homoiconic, Lisp is.
  3. F# has the .NET Framework, Lisp doesn't have too many built-in functions.

I know that Lisp is used heavily for AI (at least academically). What are MS's plans for F#?

At university our first 6months was dedicated to Haskell and trying to shake off any pre-conceptions about programming we had. Functional programming is an interesting world!
