Microsoft Research in Cambridge has ongoing Post-doctorate positions open for very high quality recent PhD-level graduates, and internships for current PhD candidates. I would like to encourage potential candidates interested in the field of web-delivered, data-rich cloud programming. Think of taking some of the world's greatest applied programming language work, delivering it to high quality in educative web-delivered learning environments, combine it with innovative techniques for strong typing and infor[...]

Would you like to see other teams at Microsoft doing specific things to support F# better? Then now you have a great way to let them know! For example, lets say you would like the .NET CLR to implement more and better floating point optimizations around SSE4, AVX etc. Then go and add your votes to this Visual Studio suggestion!  Also, add your comments and join the discussion - make your case why this is a crucial feature for high performance programming.   Similarly, would you like the Visual Studio debug[...]

I touched on the topic of memoization in the past in relation to doing aspect-oriented programming with PostSharp, however, with functional languages like F#, Haskell or Erlang there is no such frameworks (although PostSharp should still work with F# to some extent) to help you. That’s not to say that you can’t do AOP in [...]

 Visual Studio now has a great site where you can enter and vote on features for languages and otehr aspects of Visual Studio.  Submit and Vote on F# and Visual Studio Features Here! Please take the time to vote on features and submit new ones. This is a very helpful way for us to garner feedback. Thanks Don
