On: Roc – A fast, friendly, functional language

[Eji1700]

Oh yeah. A key hindrance of F# is that MS treats it like a side project even though it's probably their secret weapon, and a lot of the adopters are dotnet coders who already know the basics so the on-boarding is less than ideal.

https://fsharp.org/ is the best place to actually start, although i'm guessing you did and went to the hello world which leads back to ms's nightmares.

https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/ is the standard recommendation from there but there's finally some good youtube and other content out there.

They have a browser repl as well https://try.fsharp.org/

agreed, a "learn dotnet via f#" approach for people with experience in other ML languages would be excellent.

fsharp.org is actually the offender. lots of links to basically nothing and quite a few of them are a dead end 404.
