About F#

module HelloWorld

let hello = "Hello, World!"

F# is a strongly-typed, functional language that is part of Microsoft's .NET language stack.

Although F# is great for data science problems, it can elegantly handle almost every problem you throw at it.

As F# runs on the .NET runtime, you get access to the entire .NET ecosystem, including all packages on nuget.org.

Integration with existing .NET code is further simplified due to F# also allowing you to write object-oriented code.

The home page for F# is fsharp.org and a great introduction to F# can be found at the F# for fun and profit website.

I really like the ability to look at other people's solutions.

I'm working through the F# and Python tracks at the moment. Really like the ability to look at other people's solutions. I've had some helpful comments from others too.

I am a developer with a passion for learning new languages. After falling in love with functional languages, F# quickly became my favorite language.

I am retired and professionally I have fixed computers and more recently have programmed device drivers for them. I love helpping others doing the same.

Software crafter, legacy code wrestler. I help companies get things done without shooting themselves in the foot and teach others how to do it. I use F# at work for everything except production code!

I have been getting in and out of F# for a while, although I haven't been able to use it on a production system yet. I love the syntax, the Hindley-Milner type system, and the use of indentation for scope. I have used other functional languages like Clojure (professionally) and Elixir.

I have been programming in Object Oriented languages like C# and Java for ages. Recently started learning functional languages like F# and Scala and fell in love with the new paradigm. Exercism is a great platform, would love to contirbute here.

I stumbled upon this site when I was trying to learn about functional programming and F#. Little did I know, I'd wind up becoming a contributor and learning a whole lot more than what I originally intended to. I had never contributed to an open source project before, and it's been a very rewarding experience.

I am a .NET developer and a former mathematician, I like functional languages and F# it's an obvious fit since it runs on .NET

Get started with the F# track. As with everything on Exercism, it's 100% free!
