F# Integrated with Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4

by Doug Finke on October 10, 2009

in .NET 4.0, F#, VS 2010

  • .NET 4 core types that F# uses, such as Tuple, Lazy, and BigInteger, are now part of the .NET Framework and can be used across all .NET languages
  • One ground-breaking feature of F# is Units of Measure, which allows you to annotate your floating point code with units, such as meters and seconds providing compile-time checking
  • F# language features are designed to make parallel and asynchronous programming more intuitive
  • F# is a strongly-typed language like C#, but with a lightweight syntax often seen in a dynamic language like Python
