Some of the best work comes from of exploring! What is it that you are working on? It looks interesting. Is there much difference from F# and C#?Anonymous

I am really just trying to grok functional programming. Elegance via being concise always appeals to me, in that F# tops C#. Also important are functional concepts that lend themselves more naturally to multi (or really many) proc programming - object immutability and the like. Functional language are, according the book I am reading, often used by the math community. Although I've never been formally trained in math, I've had a life-long fascination with and inclincation toward all things mathematical.Anonymous

I'm not sure how concise it can be if it requires the word 'let' for an assignment. Looks like a Quick Basic programmer found an old APL book. However, I must have a similar spinal nervous system as Daryl :) Pay attention, if Lynn is 'exploring', then Microsoft will probably be putting it in Visual Studio soon.
