F# for Fun and Profit

F# is a really good practical FP language.<p>- Great real IDE support (JetBrains Rider, Visual Studio)<p>- Large ecosystem of packages (F# is a .NET language, so you can just use all Nuget packages out there.)<p>- The language is stable and only gets small updates. There is no Scala 3 scenario on the horizon.<p>- It is fast, multithreaded (.NET TPL) and cross platform.<p>- Great for building cross platform UI’s with Avalonia.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fsprojects&#x2F;Avalonia.FuncUI">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fsprojects&#x2F;Avalonia.FuncUI</a>

The author of this website also wrote a fantastic book on functional application architectures. I think everyone can benefit from reading it, even if you&#x27;re not using a functional programming language.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pragprog.com&#x2F;titles&#x2F;swdddf&#x2F;domain-modeling-made-functional&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pragprog.com&#x2F;titles&#x2F;swdddf&#x2F;domain-modeling-made-func...</a>

His series on parser combinators is one of my favorite technical articles&#x2F;series on any subject. The property-based testing one is also excellent, going into some of the real practical advantages and tradeoffs of that technique.<p>I&#x27;ve been meaning to read his book for a while now, maybe it&#x27;s the time. Anyway great site and I don&#x27;t even know F#. Have never written a line of it, though I have used ocaml a lot so I consider F# heads comrades.

Best guide for learning functional programming.
