I can safely use Option.get in my #fsharp data pipeline because I know it will always be Some.

More well-deserved praise for @ScottWlaschin and his domain modeling book: news.ycombinator.com/item?id…
I had been a professional programmer for 12 years before I switched to #fsharp. Here's a video summary of those 12 years:

I had to dismount my #fsharp Ducati and write some JavaScript today.

A new #fsharp hire confronts a colleague who spread abbreviations for all the Array module functions throughout the code base (amap, acol, etc). Colleague yells back, “THEY’RE NOT ABBREVIATIONS, IT’S A DSL!!!”

"xaml is a complexity disaster" -- when I heard this, I thought of all the times on StackOverflow when @jonharrop was asked, ~"Why on earth would you want to use WPF without xaml."

This has been my experience with the #fsharp community:

This little fella must have spent the morning coding in #fsharp, feels like Superman:

"I remember discovering [#fsharp] during this period and it was as though Don Syme (the F# BDFL) had listened to all my complaints about C# & Matlab and built a language specifically for me.

Portfolio manager (who is a non-programmer) would like to better understand his systematized hedging rules? If you're using #fsharp, just send him a picture of the code! news.ycombinator.com/item?id…
wrt #fsharp problem solving: it has taken me an embarrassingly long time to realize how much more effective it can be to search github rather than google, esp. as specificity increases. E.g., an "open Utf8Json" search on github produces a treasure trove.
