CRM 4.0 Workflow with Praveen Upadhyay

Nice video (a little noisy in the background, but what can you do? ).
I love all F# content. Keep it up!

Awesome interview: thanks to everyone for doing it!
Asynchronous workflows just made it to the top of my list of exciting new F# developments to learn about...
You should definitely check out Tomas' blog, which littleguru linked above. He has an article with a code sample library for implementing asynchronous workflows-like code in C#, as well as a nice set of articles introducing F#.
As interesting as F# is, I would still love to see LISP or SCHEME running on the CLR/DLR. I would find it absolutely delightful if a user-friendly dialect of LISP became the most popular software development language 5 years from now, with versions to generate CIL and JVM (and maybe Dalvik) bytecode.

I wonder if they will ever just bite the bullet and deprecate ad-hoc side effects, forcing them to be used only within a computation, which would effectively make the language purely functional. I would put any non-IO function in an ST like monad though, so you can still write methods that use .Net mutable objects as long as those objects are local to the method and don't leak out.

You tease! When will we get more of the monad love?
