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.
In this talk, Phillip will go through some of the basics of the F# language, talk about some of the newer stuff, and show you interesting ways you can use the language today!
