Discussion on: What are the hardest coding terms to search for?

GraphQL was up there until I trained my search engine that I indeed wanted "graphql" and not "graphical".

But when I was in school I took at look at learning F# and that was a nightmare as there is both and F and F* programming language and we hadn't yet really allowed # to be called "sharp" in search. I'm sure this contributed to me thinking that language was just not for me.

F# is one of the best languages in my opinion

I was writing in Scala at that point and didn't see any real advantages for me personally.

Did you hear about computational expressions? Some go as far as calling then generalised do notation / async await! Those are amazing, maybe some langs have similar features as well, idk, but it's one of the reasons I love f# now

Oh wow! I just looked at some of the docs and examples for those and they look super powerful.

How long have you been writing F#? I think I looked at it in 2011 or 2012.
