F# as a language has a number of features that tend to sound fantastically interesting - but practically useless. Computational expressions, type providers, active patterns, quotations... they're cool. But what are they good for? In this talk we'll whistle through a bunch of real life project solving real life problems in elegant, succinct ways using these "superpowers" of the F# language. Taking examples from open source code that you can dig into later at your leisure, we'll see these features being used to make life easier in ways large and small, some of which you should be able to go home and start making use of straight away.

The Call for Papers is now open for F# eXchange 2017! Submit your talk for the chance to join a stellar line-up of experts on stage. Find out more.
