#fsharp Hey guys what's your thoughts on F#? I am learning it right now used ionide extension in VS code

@coding_theself Love it, I’ve been using it professionally for 4y now. Never been more productive coding

@coding_theself I haven't coded in F# in a while, but when I did I preferred Visual Studio Community Edition for the REPL and test experience. You should have up both IDEs, IMO. If you get frustrated with one just switch to the other.

@coding_theself @fsharponline It's a trap. You won't want to use anything else again, but no one will let you use it for work.

@coding_theself @fsharponline I'd suggest to turn off inline type hints right from the start. They're noisy, misalign the code, and really not useful. You can see the types (if you want or need to) in the method signature hint.

@coding_theself Dawg, have you alt + enter ed yet?

@coding_theself A great language with a lot of potential. I appreciate the pragmatic approach of its community: use most .NET packages (mainly in C#) for the backend, JS/TS on the front end (with #fable), and do it all in a functional way!

@coding_theself Ionide is very nice, but Rider is the superior editing experience for F#

@coding_theself An incredible underrated language, which can vastly improve the way you code even in other languages. Learning it is one of the best decisions I've made

@coding_theself It' the sweet-spot of programming languages. I haven't seen any other language, that would be so expressive and terse yet still easily readable and understandable. It is a very underrated language.
