F# gives you simplicity and succinctness like Python with correctness , robustness and performance beyond C# or Java. This quote from home page. Is it really? I mean performance. I tested it (very simple processing lists for example sum items) but no times have faster than C#.

I don’t know. In general I dont see how it would be faster, but it may be down to language features for certain classes of problem. The other day, I saw a video where, for scientific computing, an application was also ported to Rust with the help of an experienced Rust dev. Initially the Rust was t…

With careful optimization, F# code can certainly compete with any other compiled language. It isn’t automatically faster than C#, of course, but the functional-first style has its advantages in multithreaded scenarios, for example. If you want profiling data and example code, perhaps these are wort…

Developer performance might be better with F#. But anyway who cares about a few percent perf diff? That’s extremely rarely important to me.
