Just another programming language? : F#

Sounds like one of the musical tone right? But not now.:) Stumbled while doing lunchour googling ... Showcased at the recent TechED, Barcelona but what not is, they won't included in Visual Studio 2008 . Add on , perhaps. But, who knows. Time will tell.

From the MSRC..

F#....Combining the efficiency, scripting, strong typing and productivity of ML with the stability, libraries, cross-language working and tools of .NET.
Godsend! (If in real case scenario.. it just happen, smoothly)


Quick glides on what F# is all about...


* interactive scripting like Python,
* the foundations for an interactive data visualization environment like MATLAB,
* the strong type inference and safety of ML,
* a cross-compiling compatible core shared with the popular OCaml language,
* a performance profile like that of C#,
* easy access to the entire range of powerful .NET libraries and database tools,
* a foundational simplicity with similar roots to Scheme,
* the option of a top-rate Visual Studio integration,
* the experience of a first-class team of language researchers with a track record of delivering high-quality implementations,
* the speed of native code execution on the concurrent, portable, and distributed .NET Framework.

Nice..
F# is compatible with the XNA Game Studio Express product, which permits construction of games for Windows and for the Xbox 360.
