Try F# in a Web Browser

Try F#

A nice resource for learning F# language,
a tutorial with copy & run code directly in the web browser...
It does require Silverlight, so it will not work from iPad or Windows 8 Metro :)

F# language has full support from Microsoft,
and it is Open Source with Apache 2.0 license. Already forked in Mono.

F#, as a hybrid functional-object oriented language is very good for work with data,
and is popular in financial and scientific institutions...
F# 3.0 is being released with upcoming Visual Studio 11.

Presentation @InfoQ (recorded at Strange Loop 2011) The Future of F#: Type Providers
by the Lead Developer for the F# team at Microsoft
