Abstract
F# is an open-source, cross-platform, functional-first programming language that empowers all levels of programmers to write simple, robust code for a huge range of practical purposes. F# combines the succinctness, expressivity, efficiency, and robustness of functional programming—programming based on transformations of data—with the runtime support, libraries, interoperability, tools, and object models of modern programming frameworks. F# is the safe choice for modern programming, embracing both enterprise quality through tools for a wide range of editors and operating systems, and openness, allowing you to contribute to the language and its ecosystem.
