F# File uploads with Saturn and Falco
Today I don't have a new series to start with but rather a simple example which may or may not grow in another blog series. For the moment we'll talk about how to do File uploads to an F# backend powered by Falco and Saturn so let's get started!

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 😅, 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.

Why did you (any .NET pro) either choose or switch to using F#?
The "S" stands for Saturn. Suave is not very popular.

Building a Webpack alternative in F#
While for a proof of concept Suave did great, I switched it in favor of Saturn given my familiarity with it and some ASP.NET code.

Phoenix for F#
Saturn is heavily inspired by phoenix and has similar generators, and a channel system that is similar. As well as almost the exact same syntax for the router with plugs and all.

Doing MVC in F# and Saturn
Today we'll try to keep it as simple as possible but no promises, since this entry is about creating web servers in F# using Saturn and not only that, we'll also try to go for a more traditional'ish MVC.

F(#)ront-end Experience like Re-Frame (clojure(script))?
The Feliz DSL https://zaid-ajaj.github.io/Feliz/ looks fairly similar to Reagent or there's Fable.Lit https://fable.io/Fable.Lit/ which is more like jsx in that you write the html directly, adding active components via interpolated string mechanisms. There is a VS Code add in that gives you html+css syntax highlighting and auto complete inside your F# files.

Exploring The F# Frontend Landscape
This is my personal favorite one when it comes to Fable options, Fable.Lit builds on top of lit.dev which is a web component library built on web standards. It brings performant straightforward and inter-framework compatible components to the F# FE landscape since Lit works with DOM elements themselves rather than abstractions you can manipulate component instances like if you were doing vanilla JavaScript except that you can use the F# safety for that.

Building a Webpack alternative in F#
Around September vite got traction with the vue user base and other users as well. I also studied a bit the vite source code, and even used it for some Fable material for posts. I was trying to make some awareness of Fable.Lit support for Web Components and I wanted to experiment in reality how good vite was, and boi it's awesome If you're starting new projects that depend on node tooling in my opinion, it's your best bet.

Fable is a compiler that brings F# into the JavaScript ecosystem
I don't know a ton about Fable, but they recently wrapped Google's Lit to allow building functional templating and web components in it: https://fable.io/Fable.Lit/
Seems like a neat project.
