Abstract
In this chapter I talk about why we as F# developers need a style guide, and what such a guide should look like. I also outline a few principles that, independent of language, great developers follow: the principles of semantic focus, revisability, motivational transparency, and mechanical sympathy. These principles will be our guiding light in the many decisions we’ll examine in future chapters.
