I think if I ever have time for another go I would learn enough to be proficient in c# before diving back in.

They all seem to try and shield you from the fact that you are much better placed if coming from C# (which everyone seems to refer to as .net these days) and have a solid understanding of the .net class library.

All the main web frameworks sit on top of asp.net and pretty much all official documentation for that is in c#

Such a shame because I learnt so much about types from trying to crack f# for real world application. fsharpforfunandprofit taught me heaps which I apply to other languages, but I don't want to become a c# developer which comes with all the years of changing best practices to be able to really be productive in f#.

Sorry if I am coming across as bitter but I just can't see learning f# in isolation from c# which is an absolute shame.

I have been learning F# for a while now, and while the functional side that is pushed heavily is a joy to use, anything that touches the 'outside world' is going to have way more resources for C# as far as libraries, official documentation, general information including tutorials etc. You will need to understand and work with those.

So you really do need to understand C# syntax and semantics. Additionally there are a few concepts that seem the same in each language but have different implementations and are not compatible (async vs tasks, records) so there is additional stuff to know about when mentally translating between C# and F#.

I really want to love F# but keep banging my head against the wall. Elixir while not being typed yet and not being as general purpose at least allows me to be productive with it's outstanding documentation, abundance of tutorials and books on both the core language and domain specific applications. It is also very easy to mentally translate erlang to elixir and vice versa in the very few occasions needed.

Disclaimer - I am still learning both - I am no expert on either - and I am still strugling!

(Calling erlang from elixir much eaiser!)

Why do they insist on forcing their framework of the week on their dev community and make it much easier to bring your own framework? NIH syndrome? Lock in?

We use react and visualforce to get our products built but the visualforce requirement to do so is sub optimal.

For me it is not a book that teaches Racket though - and not a book to pick up web dev in Racket though.

If there was tutorials on how to do Sinatra, Express or Flask style web apps/apis I think people who use those types of frameworks would find it more accessible. And there are a lot of those type of people.
