Building a Webpack alternative in F#
At the time I had been exploring alternatives to Webpack like fuse-box, parcel, and esbuild. Around the same time I was made aware aware that browsers had already implemented [ESM modules], so technically as long as you produced HTML, CSS, and JS you didn't need any kind of pre-processing at all.

AMP CMS: Dashboard
For this project, I've decided to give fuse-box a try and loved it. It's a very fast web bundler based on TypeScript. The only drawback was to install node-sass instead of the dart sass version I already have. Oh, well, it's just one useless module.

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.
