F# is a functional programming language that allows for quick development of real life production ready applications. What sets it apart from other programming languages is a combination of factors that allows it to run everywhere, on every platform, server side and client side, and the ability to interact with any dotnet library. The interoperability with the enormous amount of C# libraries is great. But it can also leverage a vast amount of javascript libraries, thanks to Fable. Therefore, even a complete amateur can make amazing applications due to the fact that indeed “when it compiles, it runs” and the ease of being able to refactor code without running into mysterious and intractable errors.f
