WebSharper ¦ F# User Group

The London user group had Adam Granicz tonight talking about WebSharper in general and the upcoming version 2.0 in particular. While I like shiny new tools/toys like the next guy, I don't do much web development these days, and didn't have very high expectations. JavaScript isn't one of my favourites, and the last cool technology I remembered was the beta of ASP.NET MVC... But I must say that the presentation was way impressive. Writing web apps for the client side using a proper programming language (F#) and model seems a big step forward, and having components on the server and client communicate seamlessly using function call semantics is genius. I still have a number of doubts and questions, but there was little time and I couldn't make the social bit because I had to catch the train (which I am now sitting on, incidentally), so they have remained unanswered for now. But I understand that there is another WebSharper event here in November, and I intend to be there and report back.
