What is curent state of Type Providers? Does it make sense to look in this direction?
What do you mean by “to look in this direction”? Create new providers? use existing providers? improve TP SDK? Migrate old provider to .NET Core?
I’m thinking about creating new providers
Yes, TPs are not perfect and TP development is easy way. But, I think that they are in better condition than ever before. TPs works on .NET Core and on full framework, there are several TP related performance fixes in latest VS and FCS
what about wikidatatypeprovider? does it make sense?
Like this one? https://fsprojects.github.io/FSharp.Data.DbPedia/
I looked at this project and cloned it, but seems it doesn’t work, or maybe I did something wrong. But actually I prefer wikidata, not dpmedia, I think wikidata is more relalable.
