This group already deals daily with those that repetitively ask
questions about your proprietary architectures.
Not to mention that some of us, namely i, don't run, nor need to run
Windows.
You made another language for Windows only?
So what? Those have come and gone incessantly for the last 2 decades.
What else is new?
C++ runs on anything, most likely including whatever 'anything' means
in 1000 years or so.
So: wellcome to your future.
Meanwhile, please keep your Posts about proprietary languages where
they belong.

F# is free and runs under both Mono (Mac OS X and Linux) and .NET (Windows).

F# was created by Microsoft Research.
C++ runs on anything, most likely including whatever 'anything' means
in 1000 years or so.
I recently tested this and none of the C++ code that I wrote during my PhD
compiles out of the box with the same compiler (gcc). At that time, I
failed to write C++ code that ported between compilers (gcc, icc and
MIPSpro) without dropping all non-trivial features and optimizations.
Moreover, C++ does target a platform independent intermediate form, like
CIL or JVM, so compiled C++ is typically totally unportable.

Evangelising other languages on this ng is blatantly off-topic.
Persistent, blatant off-topic posting = trolling.

How does one extrapolate food onto the table? Dice.com turns up 8479 C
++ job listings nationwide. 7400 for C#. 16956 for Java.
Zero for F#.
Two for Ocaml.
I can't make my house payments using a hobbyist language.

You can download the source from the MS research page. As you would
expect, the F# compiler and tools were written in F#. da***********@fastmail.fm wrote:

Modern functional programming languages are best suited to small, dynamic
companies or individuals with smart programmers. If they adopt better core
technologies like F#, they can reduce development time by a factor of 10
and your small company can compete with much larger companies by being more
versatile and efficient and you can make a lot more money.
If you want to revolutionize your field by innovating faster than the
competition, then you'll like F#, OCaml, Haskell and other modern
functional programming languages.
Look at the OCaml job offer you cited. It is a small company specializing in
finance (trading). http://www.galois.com/cufp/slides/2006/YaronMinsky.pdf
They couldn't do what they do entirely in C++ because development would be
too slow.

Maybe "they" didn't know C++ well enough. Besides, it looks like the
original app was written with VB and Excel, not C++. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
