What Hacker News says?

  1. I did a post last year on writing websites in F#. I personally recommend doing everything up to the API layer in F# e.g. restfully, and sticking to something like typescript on the client side. If you want a full F# end-to-end story check out something like Websharper or one of the F# <> JS cross compilers. https://cockneycoder.wordpress.com/2014/09/03/lightweight-we...
