F-Sharp

Microsoft continues to offer the F# programming language in Visual Studio. This relatively new language incorporates functional programming with the existing object oriented language features. The language supports multiprocessor machines. It also supports preemptive multitasking.

F# is a strongly typed language. It has a number of features that have not made it into other .NET languages like C#. However developers have not flocked to the new language in great numbers. If you do specialized parallel programming projects, F# might be for you. Otherwise there may not be a strong reason to try out this new language.
