I was lucky enough to catch up with Don Syme at TechED Developer 2007. I'm a big fan of F# and it's great to see that a product team is being formed to bring this powerful functional language into the official .NET family. Joining in this conversation are F# master Robert Pickering and a special guest, Tomas Petricek, who's done some amazing things with F# recently.
Here, we talk about, well, F# Specifically, we address what F# joining the .NET family means, what state the project is in, delve into concurrent programming and parallelism topics and look into (and at) the latest F# features that make it easier to exploit multi-core hardware. Don even does some demos on his laptop that show off some cool new async features of F# (async workflows) and hint to the future of the language.
