Born in a lab, matured in the enterprise, and now fully baked as an open-source, cross-platform, professionally-supported language - the F# journey has always been about reconciling the apparently irreconcilable: Functional and Objects, Types and Dynamism, Company and Openness, Programming and Data, Patterns and Abstraction, GPU and CPU, Async and Sync, Server and Client. Take two irreconcilable ideas, and F# finds a way. Come along and take a journey with me through the modern programming landscape and the F# approach to research, language design, interoperability, tooling and community.
