  • MS is creating a new functional language called F#

    I found this while making my rounds on the web this morning. MS research is creating a new functional language called F# that seems to be based on OCaml and C#. I'm still not sure of the practical uses for most of us but I still cant help but have a morbid fascination with the more academic languages. :)

    This is a wacky idea I had recently about a use of the reflexive nature of XOR. For those of you that don't remember XOR has this interesting behavior:

    If A XOR B = C then B XOR C = A and A XOR C = B.

    In otherwords if you have any two values you can get the third by XORing the two that you have.
