fsharp-companies VS killed-by-microsoft

I've used F# across 3 companies now, only one of which actually advertised that they used F# (as opposed to .NET or C#). Two of them on this list: https://github.com/fsprojects/fsharp-companies

I’ll tell you as someone who learned programming at 12 from library books that it wouldn’t have the effect they think it does. It’s a bit shocking that someone with a professorship has such a loose grasp on things, but F# is not exactly Pyret. There are real companies with actual budgets using F# https://github.com/fsprojects/fsharp-companies

There’s a list of companies that use F# and Microsoft is one of them. Also there are testimonials from Microsoft employees and it looks like it has application in analytical/machine learning scenarios.

Here are a few: https://github.com/Kavignon/fsharp-companies

Adding your company to this list could be also some possible gain.

> P.S. Do we make "jokes" about Microsoft killing things off like we do with Google?

Well someone went ahead and made https://killedbymicrosoft.info/

There is https://killedbymicrosoft.info/, though it seems to be missing a lot of older examples like MSN Explorer. They also don't seem to include product renames like the Google one does.

You might want to check https://killedbymicrosoft.info/

Without a source mentioned, I assume you refer to this[1]?

A comparison shows most products that should be dead are on that list.

G, on the other hand, has products actively used and loved by users.

> They have a tendency to simply discard products left and right.

I guess this site could be of interest to some, to have a look at some of the products: https://killedby.tech/

Google has a separate site here as well: https://killedbygoogle.com/

Microsoft also has a site like that: https://killedbymicrosoft.info/

I tried looking up one for Amazon or AWS projects, but only unrelated news articles came up.

I don't really have a horse in the race, though, since all three of the big platforms (and others like Oracle Cloud) are outside of my price point and all my personal projects run on smaller simple VPS providers. From what I can tell, there is not a single large corporation out there with the commitment to never kill a product of theirs and support everything in perpetuity.
