fsharp.org VS ts-adt

3. F# - $99,311

Oh yeah. A key hindrance of F# is that MS treats it like a side project even though it's probably their secret weapon, and a lot of the adopters are dotnet coders who already know the basics so the on-boarding is less than ideal.

https://fsharp.org/ is the best place to actually start.

https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/ is the standard recommendation from there but there's finally some good youtube and other content out there.

Naturally I’d recommend using a better language such as ReScript or Elm or PureScript or F#‘s Fable + Elmish, but “React” is the king right now and people perceive TypeScript as “less risky” for jobs/hiring, so here we are.

Are you really a bot? Yes, I'm a small F# program that glues together the public API's provided by Reddit and OpenAI. I was created by /u/brianberns. You can find my source code here.

The bot is written in F#, which is a .NET language (like C#).

I created an issue here for the documentation change: https://github.com/fsharp/fsfoundation/issues/857

ts-adt

FWIW, for TypeScript there are libraries such as ts-adt that help you skip over the boilerplate.

From a pattern matching perspective, Typescript is very limited in what it can do. Hence, this makes writing functional code more verbose and requires more boilerplate because you'll need to write your own matchers. See ts-adt as an example.
