What is F#?

F# is problem-centric focus on an issue. Basically, it is a computer programme language. It is an open-source and cross-platform system that helps to address a particular issue. 

It is a functional programming language and quite common all over the world. It treats programs as mathematical functions.

Under F#, one’s focus restricts only to the problem domain as it is completely data-centric. As a result, the details of programming are not involved, thus facilitating the immediate solutions of an issue.

The main features of F# are: 

• The syntax is lightweight
• It cannot change by default
• Automatic generalization is made possible by simply typing the inference
• F# is distinguished by its feature of being a very good or first-class performer as far as its functionality is concerned
• Having the feature of concurrency, F# is known for its exactitude or correctness and conciseness

Pros or Advantages of F#

• F# can be easily used in making different scientific model
• It can be applied or used in various AI (Artificial Intelligence)-related research works
• F# is useful in financial modelling
• It can be used for various Graphic and CPU designs 

Cons or Disadvantages of F#

• It lacks overload features like C# 
• F# has the disadvantage of having more complex data structures making transformation-over-mutation method problematic
• Tools used in F# are not modern or advanced ones

Conclusion:

Based on the functional programming language OCaml, the F# was developed by Microsoft Research in 2005 and happens to be an integral component or part of the company’s family of .Net language.

Microsoft released F# in December 2013 at version 3.1. It is known for providing accuracy in programming. Besides, F# code is safer and easier to keep. In the financial sector and banking industry, F# is growingly getting used as a production-ready language.
