If you can treat the reflected code from a programming language like an abstract data structure, why can’t you just keep the source itself in a similarly abstracted data structure? Isn’t the structure of a program more similar to a graph, than a list? Besides the momentum ...

Overall, I liked developing in F# quite a bit; however, puzzling through the interpreter errors was a brutal process indeed.   You can grab my ...

Everyone is worried about how the switch from more megahertz to more cores is going to impact how they program. I was reading an article entitled F# Primer over on msdn today. It stated that the reason F#, and other functional ...
