F# is not the language I would write an entire app in today. Instead use it for robust processes. Such as multi threading processes. I have spoken with a few hard core F# developers over the past few years and they really love it's flexibility and bend ability. They also see more internal code that M$ writes to be done in F# replacing C++ based modules over time. They guys all had M$ employment at the time. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
