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.
