In Erlang, we have the Supervisor behaviour which makes it very easy to provide the means to monitor and restart a whole network of workers and other supervisors based on some configured strategy. The MailboxProcessor (aka agents) in F# doesn’t come with the same higher-level abstractions (such as Erlang’s gen_server, gen_fsm behaviours) by default, but …

To make C#-compatible extension methods in F#, here’s what you need to …

Found a useful little snippet that converts a C# dictionary to F#’s map which uses the built-in KeyValue active pattern:
I spent the last couple of nights and put together a small BERT serializer for .Net called Filbert. What’s BERT? BERT (Binary ERlang Term) is a binary format based on Erlang’s binary serialization format (as used by erlang:term_to_binary/1) but supports a couple of complex types such as boolean, dictionary and time, in additional to …
Update 2012/08/23: Thanks for the suggestion from Jizugu in the comments, I’ve updated the post to show you his approach to calling the explicit operator in a clean and elegant way. In C#, you can define an explicit operator for your type using the explicit keyword: You can define an explicit operator like the …
You can specify a function which can take in a numeric value with a generic unit of measure easily enough: Similarly, you can also specify a discriminated union whose clauses can be of a numeric value with a generic unit of measure, like this:
