What’s New in F# 5.0 & Beyond

on YouTube ↗50m

" summary

F# 5.0 focuses on concrete tooling and language changes: computation expressions for applicatives and monoidal workflows enable resumable high‑performance state machines for collections and async tasks; scripting now accepts #nuget in scripts so REPLs and .NET Interactive notebooks pull packages directly; interoperability improvements include anonymous records, unboxed struct tuples and Span<T> support for low‑allocation paths. Real stacks exist (Giraffe, SAFE, Fable for JS) with production cases—one migration claims 350k C# lines become ~30k F# with a zero‑bug deployment.
