In this article, we look at defining custom numeric types in F#. We'll create a numeric type representing numbers in a clock artihmetic (with base 5) and we'll see how to define custom operators, numeric literals and how to support F# PowerPack matrices.

Following my back-to-back talks with the UK Developers Group and NxtGenUG Southampton, I just like to say thanks those guys for having me, it’s been a great pleasure For anyone interested, here are the links to the slides and the source code I used for the demo.

Gordon has a blog post on F# agents with timeouts In my previous post , I showed a code snippet with a very simple F# agent console application. You run the app from the console, and every time you enter a line of text, it generates a new message and posts it to the message queue of an F# agent. An agent... Click here for the full article... Enjoy! Don

Over on the F# team blog we've announced Updates to the August 2011 F# 2.0 Compiler Code Drop   As announced at the Microsoft Research 20th Anniversary event in Cambridge UK, we have updated the F# 2.0 compiler source code drop to include changes related to the www.tryfsharp.org web application. The code drop is the compiler\2.0\Aug2011.1 directory in the F# PowerPack. These changes allow you to compile the F# compiler as a browser-hosted (Silverlight 4.0) component. This can then be hosted inside a browse[...]

Regular readers of my blog will know that from time to time I post pointers to technologies that work with F#, as a service to the F# community. I've blogged in the past about other maths and stats libraries that work with F#, and am adding another one today! StatFactory have released FCore, a .NET/native numerical library that is "specifically designed for those who want to use F# in their quantitative development". Here's a snippet from their website: Our product "FCore" is a .NET numerical library which[...]
