try F# today folks, it comes for free within #dotnet sdk !Super easy to get started in vscode with Ionide extension or VS/rider , it’s the .NET ocaml great interop with C# in the same solution, use all the nuget packages you already know and love πŸ’• has scripting .fsx and REPL baked in

An ode to β€œSlowly” HANDCRAFTED code When I open my social media feeds, it is obvious: the age of writing code with our fingers is ending. LLMs and agents can write code much faster. But was it ever about the speed of source code…

An ode to "slowly" handcrafted code
www.planetgeek.ch/2026/02/02/a...

When I open my social media feeds, it's obvious: the age of writing code with our fingers is ending. LLMs can write code much faster.

But was it ever about the speed of code creation? I think not.

How F# and Functional Programming Made Me 10x More Productive Why going functional isn’t just academic hype, but the sanity-saving move that made my code cleaner, safer, and massively more productive.

Remember to try #fsharp in 2026 it’s worth it difof.medium.com/how-f-and-fu...

Why else would you make your side project in the first place, anyway?

Then don't! Life's to short time use weak type systems :)

Well, sure, my day job is in #csharp as well, and I'm glad for all the 'functional possibilities', but it would still want the focus to be #fsharp, and I'd fear it would be mostly modern #csharp if stated that way. #fsharp needs the spotlight πŸ¦”!

Omg, if it were in Bergen, I'd do all I can to get to visit!

This is the kind of post where I think the 'like/heart' icon is not the right interaction to make. That sucks, sorry for all the work for nothing.

I never understood fully why Microsoft got rid of. NET Standard to communicate the compatibility of features. I thought it was a reasonable abstraction, especially for libraries, instead of having to use (multiple) runtime monikers there.

I agree that git integration is just bloat in any ide - maybe with the exception of seeing local changes and jumping hunks.

Thank you for your kind words, am very glad you like it :) And yes, Spectre.Console is awesome!

Not for that reason, no. I just dislike the concept of boss fights and I'm really bad at them. But even if I do them, the game doesn't end for me :p

Nvm, I'm stupid, found it now among your repos - just the direct link didn't work anymore.

Did you unlist this repo? Unfortunately I just now came around to check it out as I am returning to work on my other astro projects over Xmas. If you have it public anywhere, I'd be very interested in the source :) Happy holidays!

I subscribe to the practice of continuous configuration :)

Try Vivaldi, it's awesome and highly customizable. I use it now since a year, and I love it, can't go back.

Combined with which library for nice output :p?

Looking forward to the stream! Was a bit sad there was soo little #fsharp at dotnetConf πŸ¦”.

Is the source code public? Would love to have a look, am building a minimal dark page with @astro.build at the moment as well :)

I've worked at a company that was taken over by PE. It tried to scale up 5x in 5 years, bought lots of other companies, everything fragmented, the culture got way worse, best coworkers left, and now they're flipping it. I left after 4 years, too naively believing in the vision for too long.

I've deactivated the splash screen a long time ago, but you're giving me ideas... maybe it's time to sacrifice a few ms of startup time for a cute dino :)

Hehe, mine will sit on the doorstep and not move while I'm soaking in the rain, trying to 'motivate' her.

That's exciting, have been wondering about it lately! Looking forward to the prototype :)
