MonoDevelop 2.2 Beta 1 and the TRUTH

We are not religious when it comes to supporting other programming languages [1]. We want to embrace not only .NET-based projects like Gtk#, Silverlight, ASP.NET, Boo, C#, F#, Visual Basic and Windows.Forms. We are also embracing other developer platforms like Python, C/C++, Vala, and we want to expand our presence to work with the Flash, PHP, Ruby, Rails, Flex and any other communities that need a cross platform IDE.
[1] we are just religious about the fact that C# is a better programming language to build an IDE than Java is.

There you have it, kids.

tl;dr

Java is shit and so is Eclipse and Netbeans.

F# (pronounced F Sharp) is a multi-paradigm programming language, targeting the .NET Framework, that encompasses functional programming as well as imperative object-oriented programming disciplines. It is a variant of ML and is largely compatible with the OCaml implementation.

LOL

Microsoft's attempt at functional programming, eh?

(* Fibonacci Number formula *)
let rec fib n =
    match n with
    | 0 | 1 -> n
    | _ -> fib (n - 1) + fib (n - 2)
 
(* An alternative approach - a lazy recursive sequence of Fibonacci numbers *)
let rec fibs = seq {
    yield! [1; 1];
    for (x, y) in Seq.zip fibs (Seq.skip 1 fibs) -> x + y }
 
(* Print even fibs *)
[1 .. 10]
|> List.map     fib
|> List.filter  (fun n -> (n % 2) = 0)
|> printlist
 
(* Same thing, using Comprehension syntax *)
[ for i in 1..10 do
    let r = fib i
    if r % 2 = 0 then yield r ]
|> printlist

Oh my god, it's Haskell.NET

It's like the child of C after being drunkraped by Java.
