Something new for the adventurous

Expand Post »

The latest from Microsoft research: a new language based on O'Calm, called F#.

Read about it and download the compiler and documentation to try it for yourself.
Make your colleagues scratch their heads wondering what the heck you're writing in :cheesy:

Re: Something new for the adventurous

looks like a cross between vb and c++ (or is that .net and c# these days????) looked a bit complicated after c++ reading logically and so nicely...

Re: Something new for the adventurous

i am reading Expert F# (Apress/2007) and I admit, I was hooked after seeing the syntax for a high-common-factor function.
It looks like this:
let rec hcf a b =
if a=0 then b
elif a<b then hcf a (b-a)
else hcf (a-b) b

where
hcf is the function,
rec means its recursive
and elif is "else if"
