The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

From Script to Scaffold in F#
This year I've been attempting Advent of Code in my favourite programming language, F#. This is a beginner(ish) centered post about making incremental changes from the smallest possible solution to something more robust.

for newbie , VScode+ionide or VisualStudio
I can recommend polyglot notebooks in vs code, so you can mix different languages.Take a look athttps://fsharp.org/ for some project ideas and frameworks.

The comeback of the Fediverse and the Old Web
I have many less followers on Mastodon than in the Birdsite (40 vs 341), yet my activity has generated many more interactions than there. Not only that, among the users who decided to interact with me I counted: a co-discoverer of the Laniakea supercluster, one of the lead developers behind F#, the author of many important books on Java & JVM, plus many others. I'm literally a nobody, but this time there was no algorithm relying on relevance and engament metrics to decide what to present to each one of us.

Chicago and London TDD Styles for Functional Programming
FP devs differ based on language here. Elm, like F#, tends to encourage "a bunch of functions and types in a file". While Elm supports modules, we don't really care where it came from; they're all pure, all deterministic, the compiler tells us if it works.

Performance of immutable collections in .NET
The builtin fsharp collections actually are just "immutable", not persistent as you mention. (Ref: https://github.com/fsharp/fsharp/blob/master/src/fsharp/FSharp.Core/map.fs. This is just an AVL tree that returns a copy on mutations: https://github.com/fsharp/fsharp/blob/577d06b9ec7192a6adafefd09ade0ed10b13897d/src/fsharp/FSharp.Core/map.fs#L118)

Coming from Scala
You can dive into .NET ecosystem by trying F#. It's functional-first language so this should be familiar.

Parsing Lambda Error Logs in ReScript & Python
ReScript code is just like F# or OCAML; it doesn’t have a function parse phase like JavaScript, so we have to define our functions and types first before we can use them. That’s fine, but makes explaining the code backwards (meaning you start at the bottom of the file and work your way up), so we’ll start at our lambda handler and explain each part, regardless of where it’s defined.

Please put units in names
F# is a JavaScript and .NET language for web, cloud, data-science, apps and more.

Experimentation with Optimized Closures
There's docs about how the compiler generally does optimizations here: https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/blob/main/docs/optimizations.md

Load projects with dependencies on Repl
You should add your +1 to https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/issues/8764, which would add a syntax like #r: project ... to FSI.

Updated .NET Managed languages strategy - .NET
So when people are mad about MS and F#, one can see here that: https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/graphs/contributors MS does a lot more for F# then people being all pessimistic in reddit.

Ask HN: Is Clojure Dead?
Can't speak to the others, but I'm pretty sure the F# team just doubled or tripled in size (it's still small though). Also the GitHub repo is very active: https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp .
- Why is it not possible to pipeline .NET class methods?
- What are the features you're looking forward to in the next version of Fsharp?

Help with trying to get a .NetFramework project running in VS2022
Have you tried the workaround listed here? https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/issues/12239
What are some alternatives?
When comparing F# and VisualFSharp you can also consider the following projects:
ClojureCLR - A port of Clojure to the CLR, part of the Clojure project
FunScript - F# to JavaScript compiler with JQuery etc. mappings through a TypeScript type provider
Roslyn - The Roslyn .NET compiler provides C# and Visual Basic languages with rich code analysis APIs.
julia - The Julia Programming Language
Nemerle - Nemerle language. Main repository.
language-ext - C# functional language extensions - a base class library for functional programming
IronScheme - IronScheme
Bridge.NET - :spades: C# to JavaScript compiler. Write modern mobile and web apps in C#. Run anywhere with Bridge.NET.
Fable - The project has moved to a separate organization. This project provides redirect for old Fable web site.
