F# CTP out
Seems like ages I have waited for this moment, and now it is finally here I find myself with no time to actually mess around with it that much. I have really enjoyed using F# on and off for the last 18+ months and the IDE has been by no means the best...

Visualizing data (plotting functions of two independent variables)

HTML documentation for F# code and influences

F# 1.9.3 RC out now!
