Abstract
F# constructs such as lists, tuples, and function values are all generic, which means they can be instantiated at multiple different types. For example, int list, string list, and (int * int) list are all instantiations of the generic family of F# list types. Likewise, int → int and string → int are both instantiations of the generic family of F# function types. The F# library and the .NET Framework have many other generic types and operations in addition to these.
