Recently, @isaac_abraham , the author of nice Get Programming with F#, released another awesome book: F# in Action. When my @ManningBooks editors offered me a chance to review it, I considered this a great opportunity to learn something new.

When I first embarked on the F#… pic.twitter.com/FCdtfehf3r

Isaac was brave enough to explore an unfinished feature in the making and tease #fsharp users a little, while helping with testing and giving general feedback when doing so.

Thanks, this help was highly appreciated! https://t.co/9yh2tWI6St

My prog. languages work with C# generics, F#, C#/F# async programming and the simplicity of types, functions and data still have my heart, as do my ongoing responsibilities as F# language design approver. But right now I'm getting to be an applied researcher again, and loving it.

from github search, to token highlighting in IDEs, and many more. More and more, a language needs to have a tree-sitter parser to participate in the modern tooling ecosystem. For this reason the @IonideProject org is happy to bring on https://t.co/iK1ZeKKtwd to the #fsharp family

We added C# and F# support to PostgreSQL. It's the best-tested and fastest procedural language in PostgreSQL, in our benchmarks.

It's also the only one that maps the database to stored procedures using the native database API, allowing DLLs to run unmodified in the client or…

An initial version of the #fsharp interactive tour is up with a rough demo of what I'm trying to go for https://t.co/d13rwpYT1D. Need to finalize a table of contents and start writing everything + add improvements to the styling and editor.

Hey folks, today we're happy to officially adopt the #FsAutoComplete project as a member of the broader #Ionide tooling organization for #fsharp tools.

While FSAC has been the backbone of the Ionide family of editor tools for many years now, it's lived in the fsharp GitHub org.

#fsharp in action has been finalised for the first print run! This has been a much longer journey than I envisaged but I'm delighted to see the final version come together.https://t.co/UI9yHuNOkr

The main architect of Mono got moved to a different project to “align with geographical objectives” and gave the ownership of his work to a different team.

In case you want to know just how superficial and dumb Microsoft DevDiv policies are.

He quit today.

Is there a sorting hat or something that is used to choose which maintainers day to ruin? #oss #dotnet https://t.co/exIgC5qWNp pic.twitter.com/riFphSV4XZ

For a language that is seemingly niche and is historically known to have just 12 devs😆.
I for sure didn't expect to see 10k folks enrolled in this @exercism_io course and sure it is no 96k from the rust folks but is close enough IMO.

F#, in general, has so much better tooling compared to the past.

Also, F# 8 brings a bunch of nice and elegant additions to the language. However, I can't get why C# folks continue arguing about C# and a set of missed features and don't even try F#.#fsharp #csharp #dotnet

Hey #fsharp🦔 folks, we've been at it for over a year, pushing boundaries and making things happen🤘. Reality check: cool stuff costs money. So, we’ve set up our open collective here: https://t.co/j33CfKH9W9. Your support can really make a difference🚀

I was just thinking that, in several years of use (mainly in SAFE) I’ve never had an issue that was attributable to this amazing compiler. Never seen a JavaScript error from generated code.

It’s an astonishing piece of technology. #fsharp #fable https://t.co/lHiGPFfP3w
