How to use MongoDB from PowerShell and F#

Dwight Merriman, founder of 10gen,  presented today, at Lab49 where I work, about his new database platform:

Mongo (from "humongous") is a high-performance, open source, schema-free document-oriented database. MongoDB is written in C++ and offers the following features:

• Collection oriented storage: easy storage of object/JSON -style data
• Dynamic queries
• Full index support, including on inner objects and embedded arrays
• Query profiling
• Replication and fail-over support
• Efficient storage of binary data including large objects (e.g. photos and videos)
• Auto-sharding for cloud-level scalability

PowerShell

Dwight pointed out the way different languages could to talk to MongoDB and C# was one of them using a community developed driver.

Following the post Experimenting with MongoDB from C#, MongoDB was up and running and I was storing and retrieving data in no time.

F#

Looks like Matthew Podwysocki used the same reference and has MongoDB working with F#.
