FunScript is “a lightweight F# library that lets you rapidly develop single-page web and mobile applications”. This now has a nice new home page: http://funscript.info/  It is interesting because: It compiles F# to JavaScript (see also WebSharper) It leverages TypeScript metadata to do typed interop with JavaScript libraries through an F# type provider It supports F# type providers such as FSharp.Data for really smooth working with JSON data. It supports the usual F# goodness such as async programming, p[...]

Here are the conclusions, #3 and #4 are the most important I think. Project complexity. For a given number of instructions, a C# project is likely to have many more top level types (and hence files) than an F# one -- more than double, it seems. Fine-grained types. For a given number of modules,[...]
