Curious to see where that goes. I've been wanting to try it for a while, but a combination of lack of time and lack of enthusiasm for the .NET stack has kept me away from it. Is this used in production anywhere?



It's somewhat anecdotal, but here's a question I asked on the quant stackexchange a while ago asking if F# was used in finance ... seems there are a few shops using it: http://quant.stackexchange.com/questions/303/is-f-used-in-tr...


It's being used commercially in a number of companies. Off the top of my head: Credit Suisse, Aviva, Trayport, Gamesys as well as quite a few hedge funds on both sides of the pond.


It is where I work. There was a bit of nervousness since most Microsoft shops are very adverse to change, but it's taking hold.


Well, that probably beats C#. Are you in the finance sector?
