Investigating F# as Python replacement. An experiment

Partly inspired by the talk “F# As Better Python” by Philippe Carter, I have decided to check how far one can go with F# using it in the scenarios and domains in which Python is popular – scripting, automation, data science, machine learning, web programming, prototyping and teaching programming, and see how it goes.

The work with something concrete, the first two projects will be going through “Automate the boring stuff with python” and “Learning scientific programming with python” and see how well F# does. If things go well, this project will continue and I will try to go over “Hands on machine-learning” and see far I can go with F#.

Wish me luck and stay tuned!
