My Leap from R to F#
summary
Compares R and F# by concrete tools and outcomes: R has 20,000 CRAN packages, the tidyverse, RStudio and fast interactive exploration; one learner completes 19 DataCamp courses to reach fluency. F# requires more upfront domain modeling—units of measure and discriminated unions make illegal states unrepresentable—so faster, safer production code. Exploration in F# is heavier; solutions include F# type providers, the r provider and interactive libs like plotly.net. The team ships web apps on SAFE Stack.
