It's been about 5 years since I knew someone doing F# development. I was mad about the language 10 years ago, but C# has now adopted so many F# features and syntax that I've practically put F# out of my mind. It wasn't a deliberate change, it just happened slowly. A contributing factor is the vast amount of documentation and support in the huge community for C# compared to F#. I just remembered ... Several months ago I considered implementing a Web Api in F# with minimal elegant code, so I looked for examples and was freaked by the incomprehensible samples I found that seemed to be from an alien civilisation. I love functional coding style, but sometimes you can just take it too far. Has anyone seen the legendary old language APL? Watch this guy code Conway's game of Life in APL <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9xAKttWgP4> and narrate what he's doing. Boggle at the one-liners! *Greg K*
