[dba-Tech] F# for .NET

Hi John

Nope. I browsed it, and the syntax doesn't seem too weird.
But I guess it is one of those things you don't have a need for if don't know about it(!)

Also, I didn't find an Express or Basic version, and evaluation versions always time out too soon for me.
Neither doesn't it look fun, so what is left? 

What is fun, you may ask? Prolog is fun, and I would love to see a Prolog for .Net.

Hi all

Did you notice that a new language has been added to Visual Studio?
It's called F# and is based on OCaml which I've never heard of:

A blog exists:

with much info - like this example which deals with the handling of events:
