How do I understand the build system in modern F# web projects?
I am studying web dev in F#, and I find it really hard to grasp what the build system is doing. In particular the one for SAFE Dojo. Multiple F# projects, .NET solution file, Paket, Fake, build scripts, NPM, Webpack...

I'm having a hard time with Haskell. What other functional programming languages is a few steps below it regarding accessibility (for a OO programmer)? I'm thinking about Elm...
The SAFE dojo is a tutorial repo for getting started with fullstack F# apps using the F# "framework" (although it's more of an unopinionated template/collection of libraries for writing fullstack apps). I'd suggest starting with Fable/Elmish before diving into a full SAFE stack app though.

The combined power of F# and C#
Giraffe is another interesting one to explore: https://giraffe.wiki/
Giraffe is nice because it is itself built "just" as ASP.NET Core Middleware so it plays a bit more nicely than Suave with a mixed stack of C#-defined Middleware.
It's more likely you accidentally fall back into just translating C# patterns to non-idiomatic F# with Giraffe, but it's also nicer when in that case of needing to live in both worlds and use a mixture of libraries built for C# ASP.NET projects.

Is there any advantage to using F# instead of C#?
If you have an interest in F#, I highly recommend diving in because (1) it has a ton of things you might learn to appreciate in C#; (2) it has things C# cannot have. I do like some of the suggestions people have made regarding mixing your code bases, but I'll also say that building, say, endpoint routing in Giraffe is (to repeat myself) easy, simple, and elegant.

Targeting Node, Bun and Deno With F#
Bix is a micro-framework designed with F# in mind and that runs on both Deno and Bun! and in theory it also should even run in a service worker! (intercepting fetch requests) although I haven't tested that yet, it offers a general purpose handler that coupled with a set of route definitions it can bring a Giraffe/Saturn like framework to life in JavaScript runtimes which is incredibly awesome! useful? maybe not š , but awesome indeed. Let's see some code for it

If you were to create a Web API today from scratch how would you do it ?
Backend: Most likely it would be a toss between https://saturnframework.org or https://giraffe.wiki. They both combins the extremely good type system in F# combined with the ease of a minimal API.

Is it possible to run C# asp.net core MVC and f# giraffe in a single solution
I was wondering if its possible to simultaneously run a C# core MVC project in combination with https://github.com/giraffe-fsharp/Giraffe

Overriding JSON serializer in Giraffe
By default Giraffe, the framework which I use as a web server, uses Newtonsoft.Json to serialize results to JSON. However, for discriminated union, it generates quite a lot of JSON so I've switched to System.Text.Json which is built into newer versions of .Net Core. In combination with FSharp.SystemTextJson package allows serializing discriminated unions more gracefully. All we need is to decorate Branch type with JsonFSharpConverter(JsonUnionEncoding.BareFieldlessTags) attribute.

Introducing Giraffe.Htmx
Giraffe is a library that sits atop ASP.NET Core and allows developers to build web applications in a functional style; dotnet new giraffe is literally my starting point when I begin a new web application project. (Rather than write three more sentences filled with effusive praise, Iāll just leave it at that; itās great.) It also provides a view engine (that builds upon Suaveās āexperimentalā view engine) which uses an F# DSL to define HTML in a strongly-typed way. It has been incredibly efficient for a while, but with .NETās work over the past two releases at improving performance, and Giraffeās adoption of those techniques, it is lightning fast.

Show HN: F# web server in 3-4 lines of code
Wrapping ASP.NET Core to be easier and more idiomatic with F# seems to be a common domain. Out of curiosity, did you look at any existing projects? If so, what was lacking from them that made you decide to write WebFrame?
