F# Advent Calendar in English 2026

The F# Advent Calendar is back—and we’d love you to be part of it. Since 2014, F# developers have used this December tradition to share the things they’ve built, learned, and wondered about. This is our 13th edition, and it’s a chance to hear from the whole community: newcomers and veterans, library authors and curious tinkerers, people solving everyday problems and people exploring ideas just for fun.

From December 1 through Christmas Eve, there are 24 main dates to fill, with bonus posts welcome when there’s more to share. Your contribution doesn’t need to be a grand project or an exhaustive guide. A useful technique, a small experiment, a story from a project, or a lesson you learned can give someone else a new idea to try.

Got something F#-related you’d like to share? Choose a date and join us in making this year’s calendar a celebration of the language and the people around it. 🧑‍🎄

How to take part

  1. Pick an F#-related topic and reserve a date by posting on BlueSky, X, or leaving a comment on this post. You can keep your topic secret until publication day if you like.
  2. Prepare a blog post or video in English.
  3. Publish it on your assigned date.
  4. Post the link to your post on BlueSky or X with hashtags #fsharp and #FsAdvent.
