Exploring MongoDB with F#
If you’ve been following me on Twitter, I’ve been digging a bit into MongoDB. When I was involved with the planning of NoSQLEast this past year, I sat down and used it in anger and was quite pleased with the results. Using it with a language which allows for quick prototyping such as F# has afforded me to get up and going on a project with very little effort. At some point, I don’t want to be bothered with having to go into another tool, create a schema, decide what data types, run migrations and all the fun things that come along with traditional RDBMS solutions. I just want a quick answer with the data I have. There was one issue of course that nagged me which was the ubiquitous use of strings for everything from databases, collections, and keys. With a language such as F#, could we do any better than this approach?
