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.

Reusing static constraints with multiple generics
Trying to extend this https://github.com/fsharp/fslang-suggestions/issues/1089 to have two generics:

VN Compiler. How to use Blazor components with Bolero. Introducing Blazor.Diagrams. (Pt. 1) (Restart)
Basically, what I've made in Spiral. There is even a F# issue to improve the syntax.

Can I call method on the output of the pipe?
Not currently supported but it's an open language suggestion that's likely to end up in F#. https://github.com/fsharp/fslang-suggestions/issues/506

Microfeatures I'd like to see in more languages

Need help with Azure.Storage.Blobs to do simple enumerate blob items
I found this post (https://github.com/fsharp/fslang-suggestions/issues/975) which is about the same thing, but I'm confused as to what the final resolution was. There was mention of a taskSeq, but I can't find much info on that.

OCaml programmer with some noob F# ecosystem questions
An issue in FSharp suggestions

Announcing .NET 7 Preview 7
F# doesn’t currently seem to support source generators.

What are the features you're looking forward to in the next version of Fsharp?
"Blessed" literals: only FSharp.List and System.Array have a built-in collection syntax in the language ([ ] and [| |]). Only FSharp.List has a special pattern matching constructor (::). The language itself shouldn't favor a particular type over another: it should be possible, at the library level, to write the same code but using different collection types (related discussion here).

F# (in)compatibility
I mostly write F# so I can only speak for F#, but if you want you can create a module which extends Seq to add the OCaml names. I suspect the same is possible in OCaml. The authors are not trying to impede compatibility, but compatibility is not a goal. If you value compatibility, or adhering to ML norms, and you use F#, I recommend you (kindly) advocate for it in relevant issues on the F# language discussion repo. https://github.com/fsharp/fslang-suggestions/issues

My Thoughts on OCaml
The C# compiler got a ton of new smarts around reference type nullability and almost all of the BCL (.NET standard library) got annotated for it. I don't know when F# will finally pick up all the new compile-time smarts for Nullable Reference Types, but it has been proposed and prototyped, at least [1].

Drawbacks of adding 'Interfaces with static abstract members' in F#
Note: For some reason I cant submit the Url with the specific section of the Drawbacks section, but it is here https://github.com/fsharp/fslang-design/blob/main/FSharp-7.0...

Is there a market for a complete fsharp ORM library?
Does type provider still only support literal strings for definition, right? Supporting records could make it feasible to create something really good as just a side project. I remember suggestions to allow taking record/types but can't find the gh issue or related. Found the rfc. Seems abandoned. It could be a game changer. :(

How do I use voptions in active patterns in F# 6?
But, when I try this example from the RFC, I get an "expected option but here has type voption" error.

F# Weekly #42, 2021 – .NET 6 RC2 and What’s new in F# 6.0
Add insert/remove/update functions for collections, also Keys/Values for Map
- RFC FS-1110,1111 - "index syntax (expr[idx] instead of expr.[idx]) and ref cell op deprecation (.Value instead of !)" has been merged into the F# compiler and will be available starting the next .NET 6 release candidate.

Is there a way to connect RFCs <-> PRs <-> targeted F# releases <-> release dates?
Someone writes an RFC about the approved-in-principle suggestion with more details and opens a pull request to https://github.com/fsharp/fslang-design.
