- Update to 3.0.25 - Change license to AL2, not restricted any more - Transfer maintainership to mono - Trim header PR: ports/176018 Submitted by: Jack Pappas <jack.pappas@tidepowerd.com>

F# is an open-source, strongly typed, multi-paradigm programming
language encompassing functional, imperative and object-oriented
programming techniques. F# is most often used as a cross-platform CLI
language, but can also be used to generate JavaScript and GPU code.
F# developed as a research programming language to provide the much sought-after combination of type safety, succinctness, performance, expressivity and scripting, with all the advantages of running on a high-quality, well-supported modern runtime system. This combination has been so successful that the language is now being transitioned towards a fully supported language on the .NET platform. F# was developed as a pragmatically-oriented variant of ML that shares a core language with OCaml. Unlike other scripting languages it executes at or near the speed of C# and C++, making use of the performance that comes through strong typing. Unlike many type-inferred, statically-typed languages it also supports many dynamic language techniques, such as property discovery and reflection where needed. F# includes extensions for working across languages and for object-oriented programming, and it works seamlessly with other .NET programming languages and tools.

F# is developed by The F# Software Foundation and Microsoft. An open
source, cross-platform edition of F# is available from the F# Software
Foundation. F# is also a fully supported language in Visual Studio.
Other tools supporting F# development include Mono, MonoDevelop,
SharpDevelop and the WebSharper tools for JavaScript and HTML5 web
programming.

Python, Haskell, Scala and Erlang.
