One thing I like about f# is the ability to use readonly objects in a way that does not require a lot of code. I’ve done a small lib inspired by this ability of f#: with The syntax is a bit special since I assume that the properties have a private set.<blockquote class="tr_bq"> myobject.With(m => m.Property1 == 3 && m.Property2 == "3") </blockquote>

If you prefer to write your build tasks in c# then there is a package for you:Shake

I went to leetspeak yesterday. Justin Rusbatch had a talk about scriptcs. In that talk he mentioned that several people wanted to write build scripts in C# and thought that it would be nice to use scriptcs to do that. I started trying out to write build scripts in C#. Turns out that many of the classes that are available in .net are not supposed to be used by users of .net. It’s cleaner and simpler to execute the command line tools from C#. I started writing some code to try it out. I called it shake.

I had some trouble running NuGet on ubuntu. I’m running an Ubuntu server. Turns out that you need to install certificates: mozroots –import –sync Otherwise NuGet will fail to decode the results when fetching packages over https.
