Title:
F# is awesome - learn what's new and what you can use it for!
Abstract:
F# is a functional cousin to the C# language. It's part of .NET, but has a lightweight syntax and several awesome features that make it a great choice for writing succinct code, web apps, and doing data scripting and analytics. It's got great tooling support, and highly active community, great package and ecosystem support, and it's used in all kinds of domains.
F# 6 is the latest release of F#, bringing some great new features that simplify some things for beginners and make it an even more well-rounded language for folks who love type safety and robustness but don't want to write a bunch of code to get those things.
