- Visual Studio 2017 version 15.8.5
- Compiling non-.NET SDK style F# projects results in an internal MSBuild error unless MSBuild parallelism is set to 1.
- F# is not NGEN’d in Visual Studio.
- F# deploys the FSharp.Core 4.5.0.0 binary in the 4.4.3.0 location.
- New ideas:
- Compiler warning when `obj` is inferred as a type
- Allow results of `match!` to be bound
- Adapt differentiated F# and vectors, matrices, tensors as core data types
- Use on multiplae binding (`let x, y = …` compiles, but `use x, y = ..` not)
- Generic struct type whose fields are all unmanaged types is unmanaged
- remove type augmentation eviction notice
- create an fsi.RemovePrinterTransformer method
