Stay with C# or switch to F#? Let's fight! Let's vote!
We are two developers with a long experience in OOP, and in the .NET world it means C#. Both of us later discovered functional programming, and in the .NET world it means F#.
One of us was convinced to make a switch to F# with its immutable data and terse syntax and never looked back. The other one was convinced that the evolution of C# and adoption of FP elements make it a solid language to take advantages of both paradigms. Perhaps both of us are right in our choices but what would YOU do?
Come to our session, and you will become our judge. You will be presented a series of small tasks with solutions in both languages, and you will vote for a winner in each category. Perhaps yo can make a choice for your own future?
