We like to say "F# loves R", because we can use R packages from F#, through an R type provider for F#.  We like to say "F# loves TypeScript", because we can use TypeScript Interface Definition Files from F#, through a TypeScript type provider for F#. This applies when compiling F# to Javascript through FunScript or WebSharper. But what about Java and JVM-based packages?  Well, believe it or not, F# and JVM-based packages can work surprisingly well together, particularly through IKVM. This magical piece of [...]

This session focuses on data structures available today in F#, but has practical application to most any functional language. The session covers what makes these structures functional, wh[...]

Thursday night (31 Jan) at the F#unctional Londoners Meetup we have Zach Bray telling us all about FunScript, aka "F# to Javascript, the FunScript way!" This includes a cool integration of TypeScript metadata into F#-JavaScript programming using an F# type provider for TypeScript. Another way to look at that is that all those TypeScript programmers are now producing typed components for use from F# too :-)  All your types belong to us. Thanks guys!! FunScript lets you connect to Web APIs like Freebase and [...]
